I had a condo in San Jose and sold it at a loss. Since that wiped out any tax liabilities I had for the year, I didn’t bother filing a state return. Then I moved to Seattle.
The California taxing authority actually tracked me down in Washington and started sending me threatening letters for a missing tax return. I tried to tell them I owed them nothing. Eventually, I got a letter telling me I’d be arrested if I ever came into the state again. So far, I’ve managed to avoid it. It isn’t exactly Merle Haggard’s The Fugitive, but it is a life of exile. LOL
Get some forms and fill them out.
Look, it’s silly, but it may save you some grief down the road.
Bureaucrats can make your life a living hell unfortunately.
It won’t cost you more than a few minutes of time, and postage.
Fill out an EZ short form, or some such.
You should send them a Christmas card every year. :-)
