Yes, that is a problem. The tax code starts with the premise that most people would want to do the carryback, so they made that easier by making the carry back the default rule. If don't want the carry back you must attach the statement making the choice to a timely filed return or an amended...

It's worth seeing a local employment law attorney. One possible argument to be made here is that the 30 day rule lapsed due to not being enforced for 30 years. And if the employees have tried to make use of their time off in the 30 days and were told no, that may be a breach of contract by the...

In pretty much every state child custody decisions are made by a judge. There is no jury in such cases. So it's the judge you have to convince. Depending on the exact effect of the move your wife might be able to argue that the move is in the child's best interest because the job is better than...

It might make a difference. You'd need to read the state constitution and the applicable state statutes to find out. It may not be arbitrary. Instead, it might have been the easiest way (or perhaps even the only way) for the state to get the money it needed. In my state most increases in city...

As you tell the tale, it sure looks like the attorney violated one or more of the rules of professional conduct. Start with the link given in the reply above this one to get started.

It is indeed too late to carry any of the losses back to earlier years at this point. But you may still get some use out of them by carrying them forward.

I don't practice law in California but from what I remember of its consumer protection laws this shop has probably violated at least one of them. A complaint to the California Department of Consumer Affairs might get you at least an acceptable outcome without having to spend any money. The page...

While the prosecution would love to have the body cam images those images are not necessary for a conviction. The cop's testimony regarding the actions of the driver during the stop is typically admissible evidence and most juries tend to believe the cop over what the defendant said happened...

I saw a lot of that when I was a lawyer for the federal government. Only a few left the building right as the schedule work day. Those were the ones whose work was generally sub par. The ones that care about their worked and would be embarrased by low quality work spent the time needed to do an...

You do need to file the returns. Dividends, interest and rent received (before rental deductions) are all part of your gross income, and it is your gross income that determines whether you are required to file a return. And I'm guessing that your gross income easily surpassed the filing...

I wanted to highlight army judge's statement on this as it goes directly to the question you asked, which is whether the state can bring the case after 19 months. In many states, and for most federal charges, the time allowed for the government to file felony charges (known as a statute of...

I suggest you first ask the county/city office that collects those taxes if a POA signed by her and expressly giving you the power to sign tax documents (which is what I hope is included in your POA document) will be acceptable. The IRS will accept a POA signing a tax return if the taxpayer is...

It might, but there is no way to know for sure until you try it and see what kind of response the company provides, if any. Bear in mind though that what is on the web portal might, in fact, be all the company does have. And if the company has some sharp people on it, whatever you get will...

Although we cannot provide you with specific attorney referrals on this site, you are fortunate in Philadelphia to have two good law schools in your area. Both of them run legal clinics in which civil matters (which is anything that is not a criminal matter) are provided pro bono to low income...

Basically what happens if you have more assets than are allowed to qualify for Medicaid is that Medicaid will deny benefits for a period of time such that the benefits you don't get make up for the extra assets. An inheritance is not income, but it is an asset that will count when determining...

Your lawyer should have informed you of all the consequences of the guilty plea, including registration. Not doing so may amount to malpractice. The problem is that suing for legal malpractice generally must be done within a fairly short period of time from when the malpractice occurred, usually...

That does appear to be the case if the disabled person is under age of majority, which is age 18 in all states but 2 states, neither of which is Ohio. But as you point out, the longer the plaintiff waits the harder the lawsuit will be as available evidence is lost to time, memories fade, and...

I did the search welkin did and came up with thousandss of appellate decisions, most of which won't be useful to you because they don't cover the relevant state's law, which is likely Ohio law as the alleged malpractice occurred in Ohio and that is where the defendants are likely still located...

You are not yet the trustee. Because of that, you have no power over any of the trust assets. And it may well be that the power of attorney your parent gave you is now ineffective due to his incapacity unless that power of attorney is a durable power of attorney. A power of attorney that is not...
