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.
Attorney here. 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.
The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.
Following this thread — Subscribing to this thread. In a similar spot.
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.
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.
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.

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.
