The Token Taxonomy Act, which was recently resubmitted to the US Congress, will potentially exempt transactions of less than $ 600 from taxes. This was announced at the conference Consensus by the executive director of the organization Coin Center Jerry Brito, reports Cointelegraph .

So, the law provides for a change in some points in taxation. In particular, if the income from operations with cryptocurrencies does not exceed $ 600, the owner of digital assets is not obliged to report profits to the US Tax Administration.
