No IOU's so far, but I did see an article stating the state is low on cash so another possible round of IOU's. Get your taxes in ASAP for that refund.
EDIT: Here's the article.

Seaside, CA | If you have access to your final paystub for last year, you can guesstimate the amounts based off of that, go to turbotax.com and at least get an idea of what you're either gonna get back or might have to pay...

Actually, you should have been doing this all along. But since the State is hard up for money, they are beginning to enforce it. Check this out for a clear explanation of how much more the State will be sticking it to your ass in the coming years.
From a cursory look, I guesstimate about 25% - 33% less of a deduction. |

| Well...at lunch today I mailed off my 1040X and 540X forms, along with checks for $371 and $107 respectively...
That darn W2 and a 1099-MISC I forgot about took a nice bite; but at least I had the funds since they both already paid out based on my original filing.

| Oh my gosh. Can it get any more confusing?
I called the FTB earlier today to ask them about the status of my 2009 tax return which was filed late.
They had done an estimation since I didn't file (since I didn't work in CA in 2009), and presumed I owed them $685 - and subsequently garnished my wages to the tune of $50/paycheck. So I went ahead and filed my 2009 form back in November, showing 0 income etc etc.
He said he couldn't find any garnishment on my account and that he'd have to research it and call me back tomorrow.
I get home, and there's a check in my mailbox from the state of CA for $481.77
The total amount that has been garnished so far is $200, which includes $50 from my upcoming paycheck - even though technically the balance was paid from my 2011 refund, in which they took $535.77 off the top.
It was too late to have my employer not take the $50 - and they said they still had to keep doing it anyway until they get a letter from the FTB indicating it's all done.
I'm just looking at these numbers and wondering how they all jive.
$685-$150-$535 = $0 - makes sense so far.
However, $685 - $482 = $203
All I can presume is that the $203 is a penalty for the late filing, even though I had zero income for that year. I would have thought the original $685 included the penalties.
Plus, now they're going to have to send me another check for $50 to pay me back for the payroll deduction about to occur for this weeks payroll period...
Uggh.

| I'm really beginning to like the FTB.
They're waiving the $153 "fine" since I "did what I was supposed to do" so I'll be getting another two checks at some point in the near future.
One for the fine reimbursement, and another for the $50 they took out of tomorrow's paycheck (because my employer didn't get notified soon enough).
No wonder the state is broke
