If the return was accurate you shouldn't have much to worry about. The only way the IRS is likely to even find out about your statement in the deposition is if someone who knows about it tells the IRS and/or provides the deposition transcript. Even then your reply of "yes" to the question of...

That depends on how the law firm handled the records. What exactly did the law firm do? And what, if any, financial damages did you suffer from it? If you have no damages then you don't have anything to pursue in a negligence claim. State law might provide you a statutory remedy if the company...

She would only sue your girlfriend if your girlfriend might have been at fault in the accident. If the other driver was at fault, that's the person she'd sue. So the answer to Jack's question is critical as that determines what options the cousin would have. It also matters how severe the...

The state is not obligated to refund fines for acts there were criminal at the time the acts were done. All that repeal of a criminal statute does is make an act that was once illegal in the past legal going forward. If you were arrested and fined for being in possession of weed after weed was...

While there is a lot of information there, it is not organized in a way that is meant to provide a good explanation of the employee vs. independent contractor issue. IRS publication 15-A provides a very detailed discussion of the issue in plain English. Likewise, those Schedule C instructions...

Report the company if you want some action taken by the state. I'd suggest starting with the state attorney general's office. It will decide if it wants to pursue a phone recording violation. Are all your calls to Florida residents? As an independent contractor the company may terminate your...

The police had a black and white case! :D

I wrote regulations for the IRS when I was an attorney there. I know how to write rules. And the example you gave is exactly the kind of rule to which I was referring. It tells you what may not do. You bolded only two words of the rule to prove your point, but what you didn't bold is the...

The most common rule in the U.S. is that parents are obligated to pay for any contract of the minor that the parent guaranteed and are obligated to pay for certain necessities for the child (e.g. food, healthcare, etc.) College tuition is not a necessity and in most states the parents are under...

I recall one of my mother's oft given advice to my sister and me was the old adage "If you have nothing good to say about another, then say nothing at all." It's the same idea. And good advice, for the most part anyway.

That may be the case, though in the places I've lived that's not how ordinances are written. They are written to impose some kind of restriction. Even an ordinance that says "the homeowner may only have homes with outside colors that are on the council's approved list" is one that tells you what...

There is no federal or state law that prohibits persons from discussing public events or public records. The First Amendment would protect such speech from government action against the persons talking about it. The court records for these cases are public records and discussion of the alleged...

The question you are asking is about venue, which is the legal term referring to a particular court within the same court system. In this case, you could file the claim either in the county where the defendant lives or in the county where the action that gives rise to the claim occurred, and...

I'll add this. If you worked for a private employer then your termination is only wrongful (and thus illegal) if the reason for your termination was because: of your race, color, religion, sex (including sexual orientation, gender identity, etc) national origin, citizenship, age, disability, or...

Ok, I'm a bit confused about your facts. You said that you were terminated from a "human resources role in the federal government" but then refer to the manager saying you were fired "because I lost the business a lot of money". That latter statement, and several other statements you made...

That's why I included the term "restricted by contract." If the lease contract prohibits what the tenant is doing then it doesn't matter if there isn't any law prohibiting it. But being in breach of contract is not a crime and thus not "illegal". That's what my last line of my prior response was...

But that's the problem, isn't it? You assume what others say about the guy, even the anonymous posts (which apparently are the majority of the original posts) and if any others in that group see him, they'll treat him as though those statements were true. But, especially with anonymous posts...

But unless you are in the OP's city/county that experience won't necessarily match what the OP's state and locality require. That was the point of explaining the IRS rule. Every jurisdiction has its own rules for this stuff, and there is no substitute for looking at the actual law or regulation...

If there is any limit it is likely to be found in your city or county ordinances. If your county/city might have those online you can look at the ordinances to see if any of them apply. Or they may have a set of them available at a city or county office where you can look through them. Apart...

The creditor typically must first initiate the action to stop the wage garnishment. Until it does that, the employer may well be obligated to keep deducting the garnishment amount as the garnishment requires. For example, while IRS wage levies will state a total amount due as of a certain date...
