The staff attached the reverse warning to networks that do not yet work, and noted the answers have no legal force.
The Ways and Means Committee marked up H.R. 10357 on Wednesday morning, a day after the CLARITY Act stalled in the Senate. The bill waives tax on network fees of $10 or less from 2028, but settles only that staking and mining rewards are ordinary income, not when they are taxed.
