Cameron, NC asked in Tax Law for North Carolina

Q: Is it legal for NCDOR to send letter of tax garnishment satisfaction, then later send letters that money is still owed?

NCDOR sent a letter that the garnishment for taxes in 2008 and 2010 had been satisfied. Years later, they start sending letters stating that money is still owed for those years. When asked about this, the lady said that it was for an amount that was written off, but later added back on. Is this legal? Can I fight it?

A: Sure; but before you do, be sure the NCDOR is talking about taxes for 2008 and 2010, and not some other year.
