On March 21, 2023, Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service released Notice 2023-27 (the Notice), which discussed their intent to issue detailed guidance characterizing certain nonfungible tokens (NFTs) as collectibles for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Internal Revenue Code Section 408(m).
The Notice took the unusual step of requesting comments prior to the issuance of formal guidance, strongly suggesting that the Treasury and the IRS were struggling to correctly define and characterize the ever-expanding variations and flavors of NFTs.
