NJ Dept of Thievery is coming after me for $28 from 2011! NJ has reached a new low.

Yup.....a Florida has a forum to be sure......but it's boring....the nonsense you characters post in the New Jersey forum is far more entertaining....hysterical at times...and I enjoy a good laugh.

It provides absolutely no comments or explanation as to where they took the new numbers from and no amount of addition/subtraction on my side could come up with their numbers either.

So of course I called them up and low and behold, the reps there were completely clueless. They couldn’t explain the “recalculation” or any the new numbers, but they did make sure to tell me that if I don’t pay up soon, I will be subject to paying more in interest/penalties.

That’s fine. I will pay them but I plan to pay them in quarters/dimes/nickel and pennies. Legal tender. I learned two things here- NJ truly is broke and apparently I'm a big time tax evader!

It figures.

Does not apply to your primary residence in most cases.
