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

IRS audit letter for crypto. I've been dealing with this for about 2 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already done some research online but got conflicting advice.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.

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.

Attorney here. Here's my take on the legal issues.

This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under the relevant statute, actionable.

The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.

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.
