Ok so i'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

IRS audit letter for crypto. I've been dealing with this for about 15 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but did not get a clear answer.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.

Final update on my case: settled for the full amount I demanded, plus they covered my filing costs. Total time from demand letter to settlement: 6 weeks. The key was having a well-documented demand with specific legal citations and a clear deadline. They knew I would follow through.
