Title: Taxpayer Advocate Service — 2013 Annual Report to Congress
Post by: oatmo on January 23, 2014, 11:26:40 PM
Didn't see this mentioned anywhere here:

http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p2104.pdf

pp. 249-255.

Basically the taxpayer advocate is saying that the IRS needs to tell us how to handle bitcoin transactions on our taxes.

OP, thank you for the link.

Unfortunately, the IRS never listens to the taxpayer advocate or to their auditor for recommendations.
