Crypto Tax Question — estimated tax penalty avoidance

Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

estimated tax penalty avoidance. I've been dealing with this for about 16 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already tried to resolve this directly but did not get a clear answer.

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

Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.

I practice in this area. Here's my take on the legal issues.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under the relevant statute. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct actionable.

Before taking legal action, consider sending a formal demand letter. In many cases, this alone resolves the issue.

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

What worked for me was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. It took 2-4 months but was worth it.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.
