Uhm, what the fuck. New York Tax problem.

So I just get a letter from New York State that I was audited and owe them like 2300 bucks which includes about 800 dollars worth of interest/penalty fees from my 2006 return.
They say they never received a 2006 tax return from me.
I'm staring at an email from CompleteTax which was an e-file service which states that my return was "accepted by New York" (and yes I have a separate email for my federal tax return being accepted so I'm not confusing the two).
It doesn't look like I can log into CompleteTax at present, however, and I very much doubt I have any printouts anymore, which is my own fault admittedly. What the hell do I do? I don't even know where to start looking for proof. This is asinine.

At least, to start off with I guess.
Call the NY Franchise Tax Board and have them double-check to make sure it's you. It could easily be a name thing, or a wrong social security number thing.
No...I don't have that ability. I received a physical check from them. Sigh.
The AGI certainly looks correct. Can't get through to the audit department and CompleteTax doesn't have a contact number. They might not even be staffed right now.
Call the bank. Ask them to pull up your records from whenever you deposited the check.
I don't have a bank account. I didn't then, either. I cashed it at a check cashing place. So none of this is an option.
That is, let's say they find the records of the return where they sent you a check. If you actually owed $1500 on your taxes, you would now owe $1500+however much the check was for, right? I mean, if they are saying you owed money and they sent you a check, either:
1. Aside from being wrong about you filing, they are also wrong about your income and taxes paid, and you don't owe money.
2. You were wrong when you filed and you are still screwed.
No, no...they are claiming that don't have a return on record for me. They are just noting my AGI from my federal return and saying "hey, guy, you never filed in New York." Which is false. They are saying that my income taxes, based on my AGI for 2006, amounts to $1500 (which I more than paid throughout the year).
They don't send you a check when you don't file.
This is so bizarre and so not-fun to receive on New Year's Eve.
Though that gets a little more confusing. If you don't owe, are you obligated to file a return? I can't remember that rule. Either way, I did file.
Your 2006 W2 would be very helpful, if you could get it.
My old employer should be able to get that for me, right? I mean their payroll department should have it? I might even have it somewhere too.
Where did I say he didn't file? I suggested that he didn't file correctly, and actually owed them money instead of getting money back. But they are apparently didn't know about his payments throughout the year, which is odd. They probably didn't sync his income from his federal returns with his payments throughout the year because they lost his file.
Yes, your 2006 W2 is what you need to figure all this stuff out, and your employer should have it.
While it is an important issue, it is not one to cause undue worry and concern; you will simply get the information and politely supply it to the NY tax agency.
