CA & AZ tax nightmare

[swaymonae]

Every year of my life, I've always gotten something back from taxes from both Fed & State.

The year 2003, my comapny transferred to AZ from CA. That year's taxes were done by my mom. Both states claim I owe in excess of $1000 for this year. Nothing else significant changed in this year other then I had lived in both CA & AZ. I did talk to a rep for the State of CA and she mentioned that we may have filled out the incorrect forms??

The year's since this, I have continued to receive money back every single year. It doesn't make sense that I owed $2000 one year, right?

So far, I haven't been able to get much help. I don't have the paperwork from that year, so I don't know how to "re-do" it. What can I do and who can I talk to?

Where do I start? Who do I call?

Look up the websites for the states departments of revenues. Call to see if you can get copies of your returns. You'll also need your federal return and your W-2s. It sounds like your income was probably taxed in full by both states. It should have been allocated to each state. Your W-2 would indicate state wages & withholdings.

You'll need to file form 4506 with the IRS:

Tax Topics - Topic 156 Copy of Your Tax Return – How to Get One

For California it's form FTB 3516:

How do I get a copy of my state tax return?

Couldn't find Arizona, but their email is taxpayerassistance@azdor.gov
