Received a Tax Bill from state i'm not employed in

  • My wife and I live in Illinois
  • My wife works in Missouri and pays Missouri taxes
  • I work remotely and pay Illinois taxes
  • When we filed Missouri taxes, we correctly provided the income allocations (100% for my wife, 0% for me)

Today, we received a tax bill from Missouri saying we owe them the exact amount that I would have paid if my income came from Missouri.  Obviously, they just didn't read the tax documents I returned which included the income allocation worksheet.

 

What's the best way to handle this?  Send them the tax forms again and highlight the tax allocation form?  Call them and tell them they're ignorant? Send them a bill for wasting my time?
