Has anyone dealt with crypto staking rewards taxable when received?

Using a throwaway bc my boss knows my main. Look, looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

crypto staking rewards taxable when received. I've been dealing with this for about 5 months now and teh situation isn't improving.

I have already done some research online 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.

In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager.
