Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

missing 1099 from defunct exchange. I've been dealing with this for about 2 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already done some research online but did not get a clear answer.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

So basically been there. Here's what I learned.

The #1 mistake I see here is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.

Make sure you're not missing any deductions. Many people leave money on the table.

Same boat here. The waiting is the hardest part.

Have you consulted with a CPA yet? This is complex enough to warrant professional advice.
