The IRS digital-assets page, last reviewed or updated June 28, 2026, instructs taxpayers to report digital asset transactions, describes broker reporting and Form 1099-DA rules, and lists current digital-asset guidance. It does not identify a Digital Assets Voluntary Disclosure Program.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Current IRS digital-asset guidance shortly before the July 1, 2026 assessment date shows reporting and broker-compliance rules, but not the promised dedicated voluntary disclosure program.

The page says taxpayers with non-willful errors should consider amended returns or delinquent returns.

Fetched verbatim passage. AI summary (separate from source): New official bill metadata in the lookback window lists Aaron Bean as a cosponsor of H.R. 10357, a broader digital-asset tax bill. This is concrete same-term effort, not delivery, because the record shows bill activity rather than an enacted or implemented program.

Verified evidence shows Bean was a cosponsor of H.R. 10357, which included language directing Treasury to establish a digital-assets voluntary disclosure program, and that the bill was ordered favorably reported by the Ways and Means Committee. That is material same-term legislative advancement, but the verified passages do not show enactment or Treasury implementation of the program. Because the promised outcome was establishment of the program, committee passage remains an unresolved attempt, not delivery or partial outcome.

Bean materially advanced the promise in the same federal term by introducing H.R. 9174, the Digital Assets Voluntary Disclosure Program Act, which directly would establish the promised program if enacted. However, the evidence shows only introduction and referral to Ways and Means, not passage, enactment, or IRS implementation. Current IRS materials identify only general digital-asset reporting guidance and the existing general voluntary disclosure practice, not a dedicated digital-assets voluntary disclosure program. Because the promised outcome was not established, but Bean made a serious legislative attempt, this is a non-delivery with an effort badge.

On June 9, 2026, Aaron Bean introduced H.R. 9174, the Digital Assets Voluntary Disclosure Program Act, which directly matches the promise to create a voluntary disclosure program for digital-asset tax noncompliance. That is a concrete and serious same-term legislative effort by the candidate. But introduction alone does not establish the program, and the available evidence does not show enactment or implementation as of June 22, 2026. Under the rubric, that supports a failed delivery with effort credit rather than full fulfillment.
