Thanks for your response using quotes to follow easily. I’m not that sophisticated yet on here to do that.
The most important issue is your premise that “exchanging” is the same thing as “investing” - I don’t think that’s true. I’m not saying that BTC would get exchanged into membership interest. It would be invested as BTC into the LLC. I know you would be getting membership in “exchange” but your asset denomination is still BTC. That’s what I mean about investing in that currency. Exchanging would be going from BTC to ETH for example (different currency). If it stays BTC and gets invested as such into the LLC, I really don’t think that’s a taxable event. Although, it might be. That’s the key though. If it’s not than you should be able to invest gains tax free given it would be like kind. I’m asking CryptoTaxGirl right now - https://cryptotaxgirl.com/
Any follow ups to that specifically? It’s a really important distinction and comes down to interpreting the tax code.
