On mobile so apologies for formatting. I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

DeFi yield farming tax treatment. I've been dealing with this for about 16 months now and the situation isn't improving.

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

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

Been there. Here's what I learned.

What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.

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

DeFi protocol hacks are unfortunately in a legal gray area. If the protocol has a bug bounty program and the hacker returns funds, some projects have declined to pursue legal action. But "code is law" isn't actually a legal defense.

I use TokenTax and it handles most DeFi protocols automatically now.
