Nope. It was 15 years ago, we don't even know where to find the guy
who made the mistake, and it wasn't all that much money.

R's,

That is a gross understatement. Attempts of the
Franchise Board to tax non-residents are legendary.

My guess is they're just as bad to residents.

I happen to run a tiny non-profit with a part-time California
employee, and the CFB writes me about once a year to garnish his
pay for some ancient tax liability or other.

In my case, my wife moved from Japan to California and was a part year
resident, but the problem was that her tax accountant wrote down the
wrong date on the California return. They grabbed money for the time
between when the return said she arrived and when she actually did
arrive. Good luck untangling that 15 years later.

R's,
John

BTW, I forget to add the the foreign earned income exclusion is not
recognized by California. So if he took 85,700 or 10,000 or any
amount, there would be a California adjustment of 87,500 or 10,000,
etc -- ie. the California AGI would be larger than the federal.
