What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NM
I just got a notice from NM tax office saying I owe gross receipts tax (kinda like sales tax) for years '08-'12.
My situation - I have a mailing address in NM, and a bank account. I don't live there, don't do business there, and none of my clients are in NM.
I am a web designer, and most of my clients are in Texas, but also some in California.
From what I can tell here, http://law.justia.com/codes/new-mexico/2011/chapter7/article9/section7-9-3.5/, I should not be eligible for this tax. I don't sell products or services in NM.
Also, possibly exempted special case here:
http://law.justia.com/codes/new-mexico/2011/chapter7/article9/section7-9-3.3/
I am not sure why I got audited, I do file a NM State Income tax return, but mark nonresident.
Does having an address and bank account qualify as engaging in business in NM?
I assume I need to formally protest this.
