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.

They wrongly linked her to someone else whom used her SS#. Isn't there a statute of limitations for this levy?

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?

The good news is that in most cases, the IRS will allow you to enter into a payment plan. We have successfully... Read more »
