Crypto Tax Question — IRS audit letter for crypto

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

IRS audit letter for crypto. I've been dealing with this for about 10 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

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

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

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.

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.

The legal framework here involves both federal and state law. At the federal level, the relevant statute. Your state may provide additional protections.

I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's attorney general? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

I've dealt with this before.

What worked for me was escalating to a supervisor/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.
