You need to read the Internal Revenue Bulletin: 2014-16 on Virtual Currency. Bitcoin and other types of virtual currency are taxable as income for taxable transactions as well as for income from trading in the currency as any other commodity is taxable when resulting in income from trades. If you use these types of virtual currencies you should be knowledgeable in the ways that use to pay for goods and services as well as trading in the currencies can have tax consequences. There are different ways that using such methods of payment can cause tax issues. This notice was issued by the IRS earlier this year.
