Kraken ordered by court to disclose user data to IRS for tax compliance By Cointelegraph



A federal court ordered crypto exchange Kraken to turn over account and transaction information to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which said it needed that information to see if any of the exchange’s users had underreported their taxes.

As per the order issued on Friday, June 30, Kraken is required to provide details of users who engaged in transactions exceeding $20,000 within a calendar year, including their names (real or pseudonyms), birthdates, taxpayer identification numbers, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and various other documents.
