Thanks for the replies.

I paid my accountant $75.00 to tell me that I should report it as misc. income if I cash out bitcoins... lulz.

Anything with value is taxable in the US pretty much..

And that makes me sad. At least groceries are untaxed here in Nebraska. For now.
I think most states have a similar law and I don't see it as being likely to change. And legislation that hurts the poor or middle class is pretty much political suicide.

I'd imagine that you'd follow in the same footsteps as the guys who sell large value items in Second Life. I wonder how long it will be before the IRS starts auditing your digital possessions and transactions. It's coming...

When I played poker I used Hold'em manager to keep track of my income so I could report it on my tax return... yeah I know, one of the few.

Does a tool like this exist for BitCoin trading?

Bitcoins are not recognized by the US as a currency or commodity, so there are no governmental laws regulating trade.  If you're concerned about a possibly applicable capital gains tax, that wouldn't apply unless you liquidated your Bitcoins (eg. removing funds from your exchange account).  Even then, there's a question of whether or not a capital gains tax should even be applied to Bitcoin, but we're in uncharted waters and that's a larger question.

If you trade on an exchange, such as mtgox, that would be your best source of records of deposits, withdrawals, and trades.
