Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

estimated tax penalty avoidance. I've been dealing with this for about 5 months now and the situation isn't improving.

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

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

I went through almost the exact same thing.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.

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

Here's where people usually go wrong is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.

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.

I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
