Hello, I got a letter in the mail yesterday saying I owe the state of MD $252.00 for 90.00 I underpaid in 1994 for state income taxes. I filed BK in 01, shouldn't this be included (I didn't list MD as a creditor, but technically isn't it included?) Also, isnt there an SOL for back taxes? This is the first letter I got from the state. What should I do? Just pay it, or dispute it?
I would pay now and dispute later. You DO NOT want a tax lien on your credit report. I recently got a bill from NY State for about 20.00 and 180 in interest and penalty. My accountant said to pay it and we could dispute it later! cariba
