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

state tax when working remotely from different state. I've been dealing with this for about 8 months now and the situation isn't improving.

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

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

I practice in this area. 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.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long no cap.

I've dealt with this before.

I ended up hiring an attorney to send the initial letter, which cost about $2-4 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
