Wrapping things up with state taxes

[pearlhenrickson]

Hello me again!

So, something that I forgot to ask in my last question chat was that while i was creating the w2s for our former employees, my tax advisor asked me if i had filed my state taxes yet. He then listed the amount I owed which i have document records on our credit card statement that we did in fact pay our state income taxes, and we have since not received anything about filing or paying anything else involving state taxes. His bringing that up confused me, as he was the one who did the transaction of that state taxes transaction the exact amount and everything, and after that he just kind of dropped it. This has me a little worried, I know i paid our state taxes and have proof of it on our statement, and he did the filing with us when we were dissolving our business as we also did our federal with this advisor too. So what i asking is that based on the information i just asked am I good with our state taxes?  I feel like he just forgot.

Neither TurboTax nor anyone here in the community has any way of knowing if you have satisfied your state tax obligations. Ask your tax advisor. Show him the proof of payment that you have, and ask him if he still thinks you owe state tax or have to file a state tax return. If he still thinks you have to do something, ask him to explain why. If he forgot something, you can remind him. If you can't rely on your tax advisor, you need a new tax advisor.

You absolutely want to contact your state tax office and ask for a clearance letter. This will have the information that the taxes were filed and paid- and keep a copy with your records just in case.
