Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

state tax when working remotely from different state. I've been dealing with this for about 9 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

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

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. That said every case is different so take this with a grain of salt.

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.

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.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's attorney general? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

Went through something like this -- ended up getting a lawyer involved which made all the difference.

I've handled similar cases. 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.

Before taking legal action, consider sending a formal demand letter. In many cases, this alone resolves the issue.

This happened to my coworker too.

What worked for me was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. It took 2-4 months but was worth it.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should file a complaint. But yeah, have someone look at your specific situation.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

A lot of people mess up by is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. Take the above with a huge disclaimer that I'm just some person on the internet ngl.

This comes up a lot.

Don't make the same mistake I did -- is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.
