What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? Indiana, tho this question refers to a tax matter from 11 years ago when I was a resident of Georgia.
I rec'd a call on Oct. 21 from some sort of a collection agency telling me they had been hired to collect past due state (Ga) taxes I owed from 1994. After a few minutes of questioning the caller, who claimed I owed about 400.00 in 1994 GA state taxes, I told the caller to please send me the necessary documentation and I would then promptly submit my payment.
I have yet to recieve any mail from this person.
My questions are:
1. Does the IRS, or, in this case, the state of Georgia, hire outside collection agencies to collect so-called back taxes?? AND
2. Since I HIGHLY suspect my ex-wife to be behind this ( I FEEL) bogus call in the first place, have there been any reports of a scam of this nature?
thanx, THUMBELINA
ps.... I have a copy of my 1994 state taxes and I actually DID file, recieving an 82.00 refund.
