Last night I received a letter from the Franchise Tax Board of California -- basically the state's IRS. They've decided to investigate my 2007 taxes too! I guess it could be yet another coincidence, but at some point you've got to wonder....
Of course, the fact that I haven't lived in California since 2006 should make it pretty easy to respond. I didn't pay California taxes in 2007 because I lived in Missouri for the entire year. But still, it's yet more forms to fill out under penalty of imprisonment and impoverishment.
I wonder if I'll be hearing from Missouri next?
For what it is worth, they did the same to us after we moved. Apparently, they just have an automatic trigger that sends the letter if you do not pay taxes after years of doing such.
The enclosed letter resolved the issue for us.
