Hypothetical question

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?

Illustrative response

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.
