I got a scary letter from a former state I lived in saying "you didn't pay any taxes for the the year X, pay us YYYY + 20% immediately", when I had actually left the state right before the start of X, and returned shortly after X.
Thankfully I had records and an accountant, but a very stressful situation to find yourself in.
- loeg 8y agoTo be clear, the IRS and state tax agencies are different entities.
- village-idiot 8y agoYes. I knew that, but good clarification for the reader.
- datavirtue 8y agoCities do that as well. I moved out of a city, closed out my taxes but ten years later they sent a threatening letter and tax assessment. My family runs a tax firm in that city so it was just a simple email for me to make it go away but most people would have to prove they left the city. Have fun. They did this to me for years after I left the city but the ten year anniversary was totally rediculous.
- village-idiot 8y agoGreat, I look forward to sending the same message and documentation for the next decade.
