A:
If you received a letter from the state indicating that they kept $374.00 of your refund for 2014 gross receipt taxes, it is possible that there was an outstanding tax liability or other issue related to your 2014 tax return. Here are some steps you can take to investigate further:
Review your 2014 tax return: Pull out your copy of the 2014 tax return that you filed with H&R Block and review it carefully. Look for any entries related to gross receipt taxes or other tax liabilities that may have triggered the state's action.
Contact the state tax agency: Reach out to the state tax agency that sent you the letter and inquire about the specifics of the issue. Ask for an explanation of why the state kept your refund and what actions you can take to resolve the issue.
Request an audit or review: If you believe that there was an error on your 2014 tax return, you can request an audit or review from the state tax agency. This process may involve submitting additional documentation or information related to your taxes.
Consult with a tax professional: If you are unable to resolve the issue on your own, consider consulting with a tax professional such as a CPA or enrolled agent who can provide guidance and assistance in resolving the issue.
In any case, it is important to address the issue promptly and thoroughly to avoid any further complications or penalties.
