Hypothetical question

Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

state tax when working remotely from different state. I've been dealing with this for about 16 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already tried to resolve this directly but got conflicting advice.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

Illustrative response

I think half the threads here are about this exact issue.

The trap most people fall into is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

Illustrative response

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

The trap most people fall into is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. But don't just take my word for it, get real legal advice.

Illustrative response

Update: filed in small claims court last week. Total cost was $75 filing fee + $20 for service by the sheriff. Small claims is designed for self-representation, but attorney review can help where facts, damages, documentation, or statutory penalties are disputed. The defendant (a major corporation) has to send a representative to appear in person. Most of the time they'd rather settle than send someone to small claims court over a few thousand dollars.
