Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

state tax when working remotely from different state. I've been dealing with this for about 12 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already done some research online but did not get a clear answer.

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

This is one of those situations where even a quick legal consult pays for itself.

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

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under the relevant statute. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct actionable.

One important thing — there are strict deadlines for filing these claims. Don't wait too long.

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

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

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