Hmmm - I think Steemit is indeed quite special as you generate these rewards as an income in CryptoCurrencies. No other crypto currency is that complicated when it comes to tax if any redeem is an event you have to report.
Speaking as someone that wanted to be the opposite of a trader for whom that made be a usual case. This was the reason I did not sell anything on Bittrex or any exchange - I just had the naive thinking I leave this in the wallet, no movements apart from powering all up and after one year it is tax free.
Now hearing all the expert opinion I was totally wrong - giving me 3 options:
1 - Ignore all the tax regulations and continue like before
2 - Just stop my account here throwing aways all keys and master password
3 - Powerdown, sell all and just pay them a tax I suggest (doing a report on all Steem Redeems etc is NOT really an option, the usual tax claim is already the most annoying thing I do yearly - that here would increase the report duration by factor 10 - hmm
