The plaintiffs seek a declaration that the Digital Asset Tax Act is invalid, plus preliminary and permanent injunctions blocking implementation and enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>Their seven counts allege preemption under the federal Internet Tax Freedom Act, violations of the Commerce Clause and federal and state due process protections, and breaches of Illinois constitutional rules on tax uniformity, delegation and the legislative process. Those are allegations, not judicial findings.<\/p>\n<p>The two complaints have different captions and defendant lineups. Neither group\u2019s public materials report a joint schedule or court order coordinating, joining or consolidating them.

The rule does not make every direct self-custody transfer a broker-collected event; the taxable transaction requires activity supplied by a digital asset broker for valuable consideration.<\/p>\n<p>For a remote broker headquartered outside Illinois, the collection nexus applies when gross receipts from covered digital asset business activity sales to Illinois customers reach at least $100,000 over the preceding 12 months. Illinois requires the test quarterly. Once the threshold is met, the broker is treated as maintaining a place of business in the state and must collect, remit and file returns for one year. Registration requirements are addressed separately.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed\">\n<p> <span class=\"cs-article-embed__related-reading\">Related Reading<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"cs-article-embed__title\">Congress moves to overturn IRS broker rule targeting DeFi platforms, potential Trump signing on March 28<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"cs-article-embed__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\"> <i class=\"fa-light fa-arrow-up-right\"\/> <\/span> <\/div>\n<p>If an Illinois customer purchases taxable digital asset business activity and the broker does not charge the tax, the customer must remit it by the 20th day of the following month in the form prescribed by the Department of Revenue.<\/p>\n<p>The new plaintiffs have asked for relief that could stop enforcement, but filing the complaint did not itself suspend the Act.
