Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.
home office deduction requirements. I've been dealing with this for about 15 months now and the situation isn't improving.
Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?
I went through almost the exact same thing.
The trap most people fall into is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.
Have you tried reaching out to your state's attorney general? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
Have you consulted with a CPA yet? This is complex enough to warrant professional advice.
Make sure you're not missing any deductions. Many people leave money on the table.
