Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.
CPA made error on tax return. I've been dealing with this for about 4 months now and the situation isn't improving.
I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but did not get a clear answer.
What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?
I've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.
The legal framework here involves both federal and state law. At the federal level, the relevant statute. Your state may provide additional protections.
Depending on your state there might be legal aid orgs that cover this too.
Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
Been there. Here's what I learned.
I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
