The problem isn't the IRS, it is everybody else who wants to know. Especially in the case of bitcoin where all transactions are public record.
Come up with a way for the IRS to investigate (not just get it handed to them on a platter, but something that mathematically requires a level of effort to prevent fishing expeditions by IRS employees) while simultaneously keeping all transactions private from everyone else and then we'll have a solution.
