BUT, the interesting part is this:  Under the plan, banks and other payment providers would be required to tell the IRS how much money came into and out of individuals' and businesses' bank accounts each year.  This new information would be useful to the IRS in determining who to audit when a business or individual has far more bank activity than their tax return and tax bill would suggest.  (Source: https://www.wsj.com/articles/biden-to-seek-80-billion-to-bolster-irs-tax-enforcement-11619539465)

Hmm, but does this not collide with bank secrecy law though? They are going to peep with bank accounts of entities in order to gain information. But yeah, perhaps there is a difference between personal and business accounts, and in order to survive this plan of Biden's, you need to get an insanely good accountant to cover up your tracks. You can also try and deal with cryptocurrencies if you want, and the privacy it offers is way better than banks at this point.

With this, businesses would be incentivized to use cryptocurrencies to save thousands on their businesses rather than give it to the government.

Not really a good idea, unless privacy coins are used. Otherwise, blockchain analysis might get them into a lot of trouble.

At this point, I think it's better to stay offline and keep your illegal activity there as an underreporter or non-payer. Much better than moving to crypto. As far as I know, these guys keep their bank activity in the grey zone where txs are interpretable. Anyway, I have a quite strong feeling that the vast majority of those not paying are part of the upper class rather than the poor.

The upper class is way more experienced and has instant access to experts that could teach them how to avoid taxes while still staying in the legal area, while the poor pay taxes under the fear of messing up in case they try to move just a little bit away from the system.

President Biden is seeking $80 billion in extra funding to bolster IRS and tax enforcement.  There is an estimated one trillion dollars in uncollected taxes, and the program will more than pay for itself, boosting tax receipts by more than $700 billion over ten years.  To be clear, this is not a tax increase, but the enforcement of tax laws that are already on the books and which tax payers regularly skirt.

Now, if you're a lowlife individual or business who is currently illegally underreporting your tax obligation, the new proposed bank reporting requirement is a threat to your illegal lifestyle.  Sure seems like an incentive to start transacting in crypto, doesn't it?
