Hypothetical question

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

estimated tax penalty avoidance. I've been dealing with this for about 2 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but the other party is not cooperating.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. Of course the details matter a lot here.

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 went through almost the exact same thing.

The trap most people fall into is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should file a complaint. Every situation is different so YMMV.

Quick update on my situation: filed a complaint with the state attorney general's office and got a response within 10 days. They opened an investigation and the company suddenly became very cooperative. Sometimes regulatory pressure works faster than litigation.
