Earlier this year, the North Carolina Dept. of Revenue sent me a notice stating that I owed income tax for Tax Year 2003. That year, I had oved from Massachusetts and was a resident from June 2003 to present. It took me over a month because of issues I was having with my employer obtaining duplicate W-2's but I finally got copies from the IRS and faxed them over to the NC Dept. Rev. I assumed that was the end of it, but this past Monday, a garnishment in the amount of $470.32 was withdrawn from my checking account. I received no notice and was completely taken aback. I have refaxed them my W2's and cleared this up but now have over $250 in overdraft fees from my bank that neither the NC Dept. of Revenue nor my bank want to take responsibility for. What are my options? I only made $28K that year and was actually entitled to a refund which I am told the statute has run out on. It will take 3 weeks for them to mail me my check for the garnishment and now I am out almost another $300 for something that was not even my fault.
