I moved out of Iowa in 2006 to TX where there is no state tax. HR Block did my taxes then, so everything was filed. Unfortunately, the only record I have of that is a hand written entry in my check book ledger for the check made to HR Block for the services. Neither HR Block nor my Iowa bank has any records going back to 2006.
In March 2018 Iowa Dept of Revenue started sending me notices for the 8k owed for 2006 .. that's 12 years back! Apparently they have not received the returns from HR Block in 2006! I made a mistake of picking up the phone once when they called and tried to tell them the taxes were filed, all was paid and it's been too long since .. but they said they don't care and I would even have to pay these taxes again. They are now at the point of contacting different banks trying to find out where I have the accounts to try to seize them.
Isn't it their fault for not realizing they didn't get the mail back in 2006? What can I do ?

The HR Block in Iowa did my taxes .... I remember the lady discussing the IA state tax for the few month prior to me moving to TX so I assume she filed them correctly.. I think they even did it electronically back then
