I paid my accountant $75.00 to tell me that I should report it as misc. income if I cash out bitcoins... lulz.
pay me $50 then:
if you trade bitcoins you should use same tax model as when trading currencies, or buying/selling stock market commodities, your profit is taxed
if you mine bitcoins you need to own a company cause mining expenses cannot be substracted from your profit...
pubic hair is not recognized either, but if you buy low and sell high, you make profit, profit is taxable...
