What we have now is gangster government
When I left Jersey in 2006, I got a bill in 2009 for about $1000. They didn’t touch my account though.
If you fight it you will more often than not win.
Gotcha. Thx for the clarification.
I purposely broke CA law by never registering my auto there. I never registered to vote in CA, nor bought any real estate or paid CA income tax. I went out of my way to avoid any connection whatsoever.
About five years after leaving I found they had placed a lien on my FL residence for several thousand dollars.
I found a CA tax attorney via the internet and in a flash got the fine and lien removed. The lien was pure fishing.
The only positive thing I can say about CA is that their “Board of Equalization” is truth in advertising.
I got transferred to CA in 1986 and we had lived there less than one month when the federal government declared our company ESOP (Employee Stock ownership Plan) was unlawful as written and all employee monies therein were to be treated as real income subject to taxes.
The state of CA jumped on that like a dog on meat. They stated we owed the state several thousands of dollars. Then to rub salt in the wound, tried to get interest and penalties added as the ESOP had been in effect for years. They failed in that gambit.
But it all turned into a bloody nightmare, as they nailed us for full taxes on all money we had in the ESOP before ever living there. I seldom use the word hate and mean it, but CA is the exception.
Californians — and, now, just about everyone else in the world, it seems — would be better served if the Franchise Tax Board had rope marks imprinted on their respective necks.
Me too. Wells Sucks.
When we left Florida in 2006 with no destination in mind I had our mail forwarded to my brother in Maryland and once a week he would FedEx it to us where ever we were. We settled in Kentucky after several months and officially changed our address at that time from FL to KY because we sold our FL house at the same time we bought our KY house.
The key thing to remember is that while we traveled we were residents and property owners in FL. We were just traveling. When we found what we liked we sold the FL home and bought the KY home.
A year after living in KY, I got a letter from the state of Maryland claiming that I owed state income tax for 2006 because I had my mail forwarded to a Maryland address for a few months. The state said I had to prove why I did not owe them money. Anyway I did just that & I have filed the letter they sent me accepting my explanation. I figure there’s no telling when some dunce will pull my name out of the computer and resurrect the whole business. I don’t know if there is a time limit, but I do know that they are desperate for money.
This type of criminal behavior goes on all the time with California and other crooked democrat party hellholes. New York and Illinois come to mind.
Wells Fargo is despicable for this and lots of other reasons. Don’t ever do business with these d-bags.
