Ok, this is my first rant, so be ready for newbie curses. Let’s all think back to the year 2000. I was living in Boston at the time. I was paying MA state taxes on my income. I lived there. Near the end of 2000, I moved. I gave my former employers my parent’s address in CT so they could send my tax info there, as I was not sure where I would be. Now, let us mosey into the year 2001. I paid my MA state taxes and my federal taxes. Now, let us saunter into the year 2002. It’s December. I get a letter from the State of CT saying that according to the Feds, I lived in CT during the year 2000, and I didn’t pay any state taxes, so I owe them $512.36. I am confused. I call them up. I explain that I did not live in CT in 2000. The nice man says, “ok!” He then tells me has entered my information into the computers, and all I have to do is fill out form FKFYLYKDFUGVR45312/X5 and send it in, along with my W2 from that year showing I paid MA tax. I ask about any late fees, extra charges. He says that he has put a hold on the account, and when they receive my information, the account will be cleared. “That’s it?” I ask? “Yup,” says he. So, I fill out the forms, mail it away, and forget about it. ``` This morning I got a letter from those evil-minded pigfuckers in CT. I now owe the original debt and various fees and interest totaling $878.52. I called them up. “What the fuck is this?” I asked them. Those pencil-dicked nimrods told me they never received my information. They have no record of me contacting them. I asked about the dickless wonder who told me he had put a hold on the account. “Sir, we have no record of this.” Ok, I take a deep breath. Luckily (I think to myself) I still have a W2 from that year. I’ll just fill out form FKFYLYKDFUGVR45312/X5 again and send it in. Aaaahhhh. Relax. Well, it turns out those fuckwits **really** want my cash. They told me I have to appear in court. In CT. Within 60 days. Or the interest will continue to accrue. I currently live in CA. I’m poor. I have a job. I sat down this afternoon and figured out that it will cost me more than $878.52 to fly out there and back (what with missing work). So, the bastards are going to win. I’m going to pay the snobbish, self-righteous, scab on the ass of New England state of CT their fucking money because I can’t afford to fight it. Paying taxes on my income that has already been taxed by one state. To one of the richest states in the country. ASSHAT FUCKERS. ``` Please feel free to add your own witticisms and curses where you see fit. -tool where the FUCK is the pissed-off smiley??? ---

I think you’re giving up too easily. If nothing else, you can hire a lawyer or have your parents represent you in court. But before doing that, I’d try going up a level of the hierarchy and talking to supervisors. But from now on, put everything in writing. If you do anything over the phone, ask for verification. ---

man, I’d never ever send them the money if it wasn’t rightfully due unto them, not ever.
