Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.
IRS audit letter for crypto. I've been dealing with this for about 4 months now and the situation isn't improving.

Anyone else notice that companies respond much faster when you CC the state AG or include 'CFPB complaint pending' in your letter? It's like a magic phrase. They go from 'we'll look into it' to 'let's resolve this today.'
