State Taxes

I'm a procrastinator (working on this) and a couple of years ago I filed my 2006 taxes late...very late. I received a notice that I owed close to $1,000! Of course I was confused because on my paperwork I showed that I was due something around $20 and I have NEVER "owed" on taxes.

Hesitantly and upset, I started making payments towards this and kept thinking, "I don't owe this, must call them to look at it!" Or take it somewhere for them to run the numbers.

Anyhow, time went by and I stopped making payments because I was going to do something about this, and $100+ was taken from my 2010 return to put towards the amount still "owing."
Yesterday I called the state tax commission and talked to a very nice lady. I explained to her that I have never owed and there must be a mistake. She transferred me to another very nice lady who looked at my records. What do you know, she said, "I see the problem! Looks like an amount of $800+ was entered on the wrong line and the computer didn't know."

So, I am due a REFUND!!! My money is coming back to me!! :) Yes, I'm VERY happy about this. The money they took from my 2010 return, payments I made plus what I was originally due is all coming back :)

YES!!!
