I have a question about Exise Taxes. (Not sure if this is the correct forum, so I apologize if it is).
Here's the rundown of what's happened to us:
- We received no exise tax bills for 2006 and 2007.
- In March of 2008, we received a bill with a late fee for the 2007 year.
- I called and left messages at the collection office multiple times. No reply.
- We paid the taxes for all of 2007, minus the late fee with a letter explaining that we never recieved a prior bill.
- In August of 2008, we received a bill for 2008 Q1 taxes with an amount past due for 2007.
- In August of 2008, we received a bill from a collection agency for 2006 taxes.
I am beside myself about this and want to get a lawyer, and send a letter to the mayor and governor expressing my outrage and how this makes me want to move out of the state.
Has anyone else had this happen to them? Any advice? Am I handcuffed?
I would really appreciate any input from the group here.
