The United States Internal Revenue Service said it plans to release guidance on having nonfungible tokens, or NFTs, treated as collectibles under the U.S. tax code.
In a March 21 notice, the IRS called for feedback from the U.S. public on how NFTs could be taxed as collectibles. According to the government body, collectibles under U.S. tax law “do not have as advantageous capital-gains tax treatment as other capital assets,” seemingly referring to how crypto assets are currently taxed in the country.
