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 12 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already tried to resolve this directly but did not get a clear answer.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

Licensed attorney — a few thoughts. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The key question is whether the applicable statute of limitations has run. Depending on your jurisdiction, you typically have the relevant statute years for this type of claim.

The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
