NFT sale tax implications — am I screwed?

Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

NFT sale tax implications. I've been dealing with this for about 4 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but got conflicting advice.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

You could try handling it yourself but honestly a lawyer speeds things up 10x.

I've dealt with this before.

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
