Hypothetical question

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?

Illustrative response

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

Illustrative response

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.

Illustrative response

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