They cashed the check for $202 last March, but keep sending letters that don't respond to questions I ask, and provide no justification of the amount they're demanding. Specifically, the tax rate on the 2017 return was about 10%. The corrected tax they claim would use a rate of about 93% on the... Read more »
I'd suggest calling into customer service directly. https://www.irs.gov/help/telephone-assistance
Ask them what's going on. There are fake notice letters out there, but if you're mailing automated collections they don't always respond. You'll likely hear from a revenue officer eventually.... Read more »
IHSS never informed me about this when I moved my client into my home. I was never given the paperwork needed for the federal gov. They have been deducting federal taxes since August.
Try filing a return with zero income and report your tax withholding. The result should be a tax refund.

Hello, I dissolved a corporation back in September and I'm not receiving notices from the Calif. Franchise Tax Board that I owe in excess of $900 for back "taxes" in 2018, which I think is the $800 annual fee. Am I still responsible to pay this? or can I ignore these notices since the corporation... Read more »
Generally you're not personally liable for the franchise fees.
It may be worth having a professional take a look and write a letter to the franchise board.
We planned to file joint taxes but a federal student loan she owes from 29 years ago is coming up. We just opened a joint checking 12/20/19. Can our joint account be frozen and money removed for her 29-year-old debit? And will our tax refund be applied to her debit if we file joint? We are in... Read more »
Let me just say this: If your wife still has an old student loan debt--from 29 years ago--the first thing she should do is thank the Good Lord for the government giving her the 29 years of low interest loans. The second thing she should do is stop trying to avoid paying the debt. Why? Because--if... Read more »
We never received a letter regarding overpayment. The reason we recently found about the overpayment is that the California Franchise Board had taken money out of are account saying my husband owed them $5204.11. Which we have proved that they made a mistake on owing them. So, my question is can... Read more »

You have a claim against the property owners for reimbursement but be prepared for them to make a counterclaim against you for rent.
I have received a settlement from a Company in California that I had worked at 3 years ago. I am now a Florida resident. Do I have to file a 2019 California tax return?
The first step would be to determine if the settlement is taxable at all.
Assuming it is, California will likely claim it's source income from California and subject to tax. They often claim things that are not fully accurate.

They wrongly linked her to someone else whom used her SS#. Isn't there a statute of limitations for this levy?
Hi. There is the 20-year SOL, but you may have a better way of approaching this matter. If the collection was on an incorrect use of her SSN (Identity Theft), there are ways to prove this to be true and possibly get the money returned.

They wrongly linked her to someone else whom used her SS#. Isn't there a statute of limitations for this levy?
The SoL is twenty years.
You have to challenge it.
The BOE wrongfully linked my deceased mother's SS# to a sales tax matter. over a year after her death they levied the trust account left to me. Is this legal?
The facts as you've described them are quite unusual and an answer to your inquiry would require an investigation and analysis by a skilled attorney with experience in dealing with the BOE, which is now the CDTFA.
Also there is a very large utility bill owed & now services has been interrupted. Can I take claim that on my taxes if I pay it?
It depends on if your intent is to create an income producing property or an investment property. It also depends if it's a repair or an improvement.
From what you described this sounds like an improvement on an investment property so it would not be deductible but it would be added to... Read more »
Signed stipulation for judgement says:
"Tax Returns:
Each party shall solely be responsible to pay his/her one-half share of the tax debt for 2013 and 2014 in a timely manner."
Since the "tax debt" amount is not specified, and the tax debt value changed over time (for... Read more »
From a tax perspective the "tax debt" is the amount of tax liability assessed, all penalties and interest, less payments made.
My interpretation would be the amount of debt at the time the agreement was entered into plus all interest accrued after the signing date.
