What is the name of your state? NY
My wife just received a letter from the State of CA stating that she owes $5000 for the year 1982. They say she owes $600 tax and $4400 in interest and penalties. She was only in CA one year, 1982, and did not know that there was a state tax to file. She moved back to NY in 1983.
Now 21 years later my wife, who has a new name because she married me 14 years ago , has gotten this letter address to her old madden name. The letter goes on to state that she may qualify for wavier of penalties and interests. It doesn't say for sure.
Questions I have:
1. is there a CA state tax?
2. can they collect from 20 years ago?
3. is there some amnesty right now being granted by the state of CA?
4. does this letter sound real?
5. what should we do?
