Hypothetical question

I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

DeFi yield farming tax treatment. I've been dealing with this for about 9 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already tried to resolve this directly but the other party is not cooperating.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

Illustrative response

Reminder that many states have free or low-cost dispute resolution programs run by the state court system. In California, check your county's ADR program — mediation is often available for free or under $200. Much faster than litigation.
