There's a number of exchanges where you can withdraw on Lightning. I wonder what they would consider an "address" in this case? The invoice?

What do you mean - like if you hire a tax prep firm?

if you fill out the confession form, or interface with an entity that fills out the confession form on your behalf...🤷‍♂️

Whoa, I hadn’t seen that either—Form 1099-DA in 2026? That’s a big deal.
So basically, exchanges and even wallet providers will have to report your crypto trades—including wallet addresses—to the IRS. Not just gains/losses, but full transaction details. That’s a huge step toward full surveillance of on-chain activity tied to identities.
If this goes through as described, privacy in U.S.-regulated crypto is about to get a lot harder. Definitely time to brush up on privacy tools like CoinJoin, self-custody best practices, and maybe reconsider how you’re interacting with centralized platforms.
Feels like the window for pseudonymity is closing fast.

I got this from an email newletter I subscribe to (from BitcoinMentor.io)

>**IRS to Implement New Crypto Reporting Form in 2026**

>Starting in 2026, the IRS will issue Form 1099-DA to report Bitcoin and other digital asset transactions, requiring brokers like exchanges and wallet providers to send details on gross proceeds, cost basis, and transaction specifics to both taxpayers and the agency. This includes WALLET ADDRESSES. If you have not done so already, it’s time to learn about the privacy tools already available.

I hadn't heard anything about this. 

Thoughts? Comments?
