If you owe back taxes to the state, what happens if you leave the state?

What is the name of your state? NC

Suppose you owe back taxes to the state. An attorney told me once that if you moved to another state they probably would not be able to collect from you. Can State A not find a way to garnish wages in State B? Doesen't State B have to give "full faith and credit" to any actions taken by State A?

20 years ago it might have been difficult for a state to collect from you if you were located in another state. That is no longer the case. Any state can collect from you easily, no matter where you are located in the US.

In addition, the state can also intercept any federal tax returns.
