Can I still owe $$ to the CA Franchise Tax Board?

Years ago I served as a marine in CA. I kept my legal residence in MO the entire time and timely paid my tax returns during my time in CA. Now, I get a notice from the CA FTB that I owe $700+ in "TAX" from 2003--no explanation as to what/why I owe money. I never owned property in California. Is it even possible that I could owe money from that long ago to California? What gives?

This happens all the time. Take a deep breath, read the notice carefully, and call the telephone number listed and ask your questions. If it's a mistake they can clear it up. If you are patient, you can usually get a reasonable explanation.
