Crypto Charity: IRS Creates New Regulations on Donation Appraisals

Even if you are not invested in cryptocurrency or understand the technology behind it, you may have noticed a growing number of crypto companies advertising in entertainment & media in the past few years. The presence of crypto in the modern economy grows with each day that passes. From digital currencies such as Bitcoin to Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), people are looking to diversify investments digitally. Ever since cryptocurrency emerged into the public consciousness, regulation of the industry has been playing "catch-up" to the fast-paced, volatile nature of the industry. The IRS has recently indicated in a chief counsel advice memorandum that that a taxpayer must submit a qualified appraisal to substantiate the fair market value (FMV) of donated cryptocurrency exceeding $5,000 and may not rely on the value listed on a cryptocurrency exchange.

Bowman Brings Awareness to American Heart Month

If you've passed our Voorhees office in the evening recently, you may have noticed a slight change in decoration. All month, there have been red lights illuminating the sides of the building. While the color red in February is a symbol of Valentine's Day, it also represents American Heart Month. This year marks the 57th nationally recognized Heart Month, since it was officially proclaimed by Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964. At Bowman, we take education on health seriously, and we want our community to know the facts on heart health as well!

Bowman's Season of Giving

Everyone has a different idea of what the holidays are supposed to look like. We all have traditions and customs that make this time of year special. No matter what holiday you celebrate or who you share your time with, there's a way for everyone to enjoy the holiday season. One thing that we all have in common, however, is the opportunity to share. We share food around the dinner table, presents, stories with our loved ones, our time & service, and anything else we might find value in. Being in a position to give to others is a privilege, and is a rewarding aspect of life that Bowman encourages.

Veterans Day: Bowman Employee Shows Support Through Action

Veterans Day gives us the opportunity to truly celebrate those we appreciate while they are still among us. That's an opportunity that we often forget to take in life. Veterans are a living, breathing history of this country and represent the meaning of dedication & service to its fullest extent. Veterans can teach us all a lesson in believing in something larger than ourselves; you always have an opportunity to uphold common values, perform service on another's behalf, and fight for a brighter future. Bowman & Company LLP strongly supports veterans, as well as those that go above and beyond to recognize their service.
