Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

state tax when working remotely from different state. I've been dealing with this for about 5 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already done some research online but got conflicting advice.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.

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

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.

Licensed attorney — a few thoughts. Here's my take on the legal issues.

There are several legal theories that could apply here. The strongest is probably the relevant statute, which requires showing actionable.

Before taking legal action, consider sending a formal demand letter. In many cases, this alone resolves the issue.

I've dealt with this before.

In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

What worked for me was escalating to a 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.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
