Pretty sure I have few options here, but thought I would check with all you brilliant individuals to be sure.
I filed my taxes around a month ago, and like the last few years I got a small state refund of under $100. Unlike last year, instead of a check I got a letter saying it was garnished for unpaid dues.
I called them today and a very rude person told me I owed them over $600 due to unpaid taxes from 2013. I owed a little more than $1000 that year and set up a payment plan. I guess I must have missed around $50 from that, and did not realize filing your taxes did not update your address with the NC DOR, so I never received any notice by mail.
Now I am being told there are over $500 in penalties and there is absolutely nothing I can do. I understand paying what is owed, but that is a crazy amount of fines. They claimed to have sent a lot of notices, but I never received anything. I also continued to get state refunds after starting around 2015 when I moved from the restaurant industry to IT.
Am I basically out this money? Is there anything I can do? The woman I spoke to today was mean, acusatory, and started mocking me towards the end so I hung up on her. I plan on calling back tomorrow to complain about the agent and request documentation. She made it clear my only option was to pay the lump sum. Any advice is welcome.
