Thanks for the input! I’ve considered ignoring them, especially since I’ve spoken to people at the office and received conflicting information about my payment history. At this point, I might just wait until they reach out if they notice I haven’t filed. Hopefully, by then, they’ll provide the follow-up details I need to clear things up. For now, there’s not much else I can do besides sending more emails, which I’m sure is just frustrating them.
Thanks for the suggestion. I think you're right that I'll probably need to consult a tax lawyer soon to get things sorted out properly. For now, though, I’m just trying to get some very basic information from the state tax office - like a record of the years I’ve paid state taxes and which years they still show as unpaid. I’m hoping to gather as much as I can before taking the next step.
Thanks again for your advice. It’s been really helpful!
I’m currently dealing with Hawaii, and they still consider me a resident even though I’ve been living and working in Vietnam for over 20 years. The PDF files of the state tax office I’ve been directed to state that since I never officially gave up my Hawaii residency, I’m still required to file state taxes on my worldwide income. It’s been a bit of a struggle to get clear answers from them.
I haven’t read anything in the PDF files I was directed to about showing proof of residency outside of the state like what you did for California. I’m still emailing different sections of the tax office to get the contact information of someone who can give me specific information about my situation.
Thanks again for sharing your experience! It gives me hope that I might be able to resolve this.
So what is the point of the visa being extendable for another 30 days while in Thailand? Is the applicant expected to not use the return ticket if it is extended?
