Hey Tora,

I'm a little fuzzy on this. Is this related to unemployment compensation or the FTB, CA Tax return issue? Also, is this in response to your lack of a return, if it is only for unemployment compensation?

Were you noticed of a court date, so that you could present a proper defense, or were you only given the option of grovelling before the FTB?

What is the relationship between the FTB and EDD? I'm not sure we have anything like this in Georgia.

Oh, and when you get things straightened out, you might consider moving to one of the 10 states that don't even have state income taxes. I recommend Florida, as they have nice weather down there too.
