<prompt> Human: First post on here. Please tell me if Im breaking any rules, and thank you all for all the awesome help you give people every day!So yesterday I received a notice from my bank saying that the North Carolina Department of Revenue had garnished my bank account for more than a few thousand dollars. I just got off the phone with the Department of Revenue, and they said it was for back taxes for 2010. The only problem is that I dont live in NC, and havent since 2008. Their files correctly have me leaving the state then, but then they say I moved back in 10. Ill be sending them copies of my California returns to prove that I wasnt in NC for that year, and am reasonably confident that this will be resolved, though if any of you know of anything more I should do on that front, Im more than happy to hear. I gave them my correct address and will be sending over returns for all years between 2010 and now as well in order to, hopefully, avoid this happening again.Here are my real questions:1 I am enrolled in a credit monitoring program Experians Protect My ID and have no addresses on my credit report other than the ones where I have lived. Notably absent from my report is the random address in NC in a different part of the state from where I actually lived until 08 that the state thought I lived at. I am concerned that the Department of Revenues incorrect address for me is a sign of more worrying identity issues. Is there any reason to be concerned, and what steps canshould I take if so to protect myself?2 The amount that they say I owe is ludicrously high. Like, 25 of my Federal AGI on near poverty-level income, and an order of magnitude more than my actual California tax burden. The guy I spoke to on the phone said that they got my information from my federal returns and filed a state return on my behalf when I failed to file, and thats where the amount due came from. Plus, presumably, five years worth of late fees. Is that 10X discrepancy reasonable?3 My bank charged me 125 to process the garnishment. Even if I convince NC that I dont owe them anything, what are my odds of getting that fee back, and what can I do to help my chances?Thank you all for your help!EDIT: UPDATE! Just got off a long phone call with NCs tax office. It looks like they believed I was still in NC because my bank never updated the address on one of my accounts to my out-of-state address from my parents in NC. Then a transcription error at the DMV when I had renewed my drivers license in college gave them the wrong mailing address for me They got the street name and number correct, but relocated it from my college in CT to some random town in NC which happens to have the same street namenumber combination. So once I send them in my old CA tax returns to prove I was not a resident in those years then my tax liability should be zero and they should release the garnish on my bank account. The discrepancy between a reasonable tax rate and what they were charging me was caused by them unsurprisingly filling out my return in the least advantageous way possible. I went through the whole thing with them and there is no income on there that shouldnt be. So nobody in random town in NC claiming their income under my SSN, just a series of unfortunate bureaucratic screw ups.EDIT 2: The bank is refunding the processing fee!  <response>: The same thing happened to my father in a different state. Glad to read the edit that its turning around, my only advice would be to stay on top of them and to MAKE SURE they have your current address correct. They sent my fathers money back to the old, incorrect address. Then when he never received it, they refused to cancel the check and reissue another until about two months had passed, leaving him out of much-needed money for a good bit of time.I unfortunately dont know if my father was hit with any bank fees that the state then owed him, so I cant help you there. But keep good records of all communications, try to get a single name who works your case that you can contact, and like I said before - triple check that they have your current information up to date. The idiocy and incompetence that led to the garnishment is the same group now responsible for giving you your money back.
