Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

state tax when working remotely from different state. I've been dealing with this for about 3 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

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

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

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

I practice in this area. 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.

I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

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

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

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.
