okay so i get a certified letter inthemail today sayingi owe my home state of ohio money frommy 2000 tax year.... well they say it is for schol taxes which is done by school district.... well i havn't lived there for almost 6 years now but do have mail sent to my parents house sometimes.. (as i did for the 2000 tax year) do you think i can contest it or should i suckit up and pay the tax plus interest plus big fat penalty... if it wasn't for the penelty i would just pay it and get it out of myhair......


p.s. i do claim ohio as my state of residency but there is no where i claim that i live anywhere..or will the mail screw me on this.....i have copies of myorder from the air force shoing i was sationed in germanythe whole time before and after...(set going there and a set leaving)

Get a hold of someone in the tax office in the county where your mail is sent and ask them. Generally it is just a mistake and i would like to think that you being in the military would get you somewhere.

Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.

If it's your official residence, I would think you have to pay.

But, I got tax bills every year for the school district where my Mom lives for 4 years after I moved out. Every year I'd have to call them and then send them a copy of my lease and utility bills.
