The problem with that is that here is US you will have to constantly jump from service to service eating your time to avoid the companies following the law.
On top of that if they don't follow the law they may disappear with your money when they get shut down

Thats why you never give details to anyone and just collect BTC any other way you can and leave it in your wallet forever, so you dont have to deal with any of that.

Interesting question. I know the IRS is planning a BTC area for tax. Maybe simply calling and asking, they have always been very helpful to me. Did MtGox send a 1099? or will they?

Any opinions as to the safest way to apply the MtGox loss to this year's income tax?  Perhaps a wash sale/repurchase of all BTC and apply the loss?
