Well, they do. And i know people who had their accounts stolen from by Komifornia.

I haven't seen anyone challenge the legality of this. The thing is, the entire taxing thing is unconstitutional, but you can't prove that in their courts. So, i don't think anyone can actually take this to court.

And the tax people feel they have the power of gods. I have seen them demand payment/tax filings from corporations that were closed, or split. For years, they failed to update their system. They just keep sending threat letters.

In fact, i think that is their modus operandi, to get money by threat, not by actual claim.

I am glad you went after them for that evil act. Changing your check, and running it again is serious violation. They should have had their bank account closed. That is fraud.
