The IRS gives lots of detailed guidance [1] on how to file your taxes, including specifically for cryptocurrency [2]. The SEC has given very little guidance here, mostly just repeating their normal non-cryptocurrency guidance in a way that wouldn't be informative to a securities lawyer [3], and especially hasn't addressed the way their current rules are incompatible with crypto. That Etherium, for example, has existed for a decade and become as big as it is without the SEC deciding whether it's a security makes it very hard for anyone to plan.
(I don't own any crypto and haven't ever; generally anti-crypto.)
