I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.
estimated tax penalty avoidance. I've been dealing with this for about 16 months now and the situation isn't improving.
Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?
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.
One important thing — there are strict deadlines for filing these claims. Don't wait too long.
I've dealt with this before.
I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
Following this thread — bump -- also need to know this
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 imo.
Following this thread — Bookmarking this. Dealing with almost the exact same thing.
I've dealt with this before.
What worked for me was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. It took 2-4 months but was worth it.
I was in your shoes about 6 months ago. Lawyer helped me sort it out pretty quick.
Went through something like this -- ended up getting a lawyer involved which made all the difference.
I see this constantly on this sub.
In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager honestly.
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 honestly.
NAL, but from what I've read, you should file a complaint. Take the above with a huge disclaimer that I'm just some person on the internet.
Ok so not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run haha.
I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.
