Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.
FBAR filing for offshore accounts. I've been dealing with this for about 7 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but the other party is not cooperating.
Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?
I went through almost the exact same thing.
The magic words were "let me speak to your supervisor"/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.

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.

I've dealt with this before.
In my case, it took about 2-4 months to resolve. The key was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter.
I dragged my feet on getting legal advice and it cost me. Don't be like me lol
Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
Most folks screw this up by is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.
Fwiw my neighbor dealt with this and said the lawyer made it go away fast.
Following this thread - very interested in the outcome.
Make sure you're tracking cost basis correctly. That's where most people mess up with yield farming.
The IRS guidance on this is still evolving. I'd recommend documenting everything meticulously in case of an audit.
