So here's the complete picture. I successfully filed my Federal and NJ State taxes for 2017 and 2018. They were accepted. I received a federal refund but owed a chunk to NJ both years. The mistake was not filing the NY non-resident forms for my income. Fast-forward and I receive an assessment bill from NY for 2017. I purchased 2017 and 2018 software immediately and mailed in the non-residents forms for 2017 and 2018. They are now filed in the NY Dept of taxation and finance.
I sent in an informal protest with the non-resident documents.
What do you I do now? Do I wait? Do I need representation? The bill goes up $7 each day. It's a very large bill and I don't want to pay right now.
Will they investigate and revise what is owed or they just don't care and will force me to pay what I really don't owe?
