I am interested in talking to people who have had assets seized or garnished relating to Indiana state tax debts, including income tax, payroll tax and other taxes as well. I have talked to two people who owned small out-of-state companies who were surprised to find out that the State of Indiana had put a freeze on their bank accounts relating to old tax debts. It seems that at least in some cases the problem comes up when the company does business for a short time in Indiana, pays payroll taxes for awhile in Indiana, then ceases Indiana operations, but the State of Indiana presumes that the operations and the employment went on (maybe for years) afterwards. The good news is that when you show Indiana that you ceased operations years before, it is likely that Indiana will send your money back. More problematic is getting back collection fees that are charged by third party collection agencies collecting for the state. I have some theories to get this money back, but I haven’t been able to test them in the real world yet.
Indiana has a contract with Premiere Credit of North America, LLC. to collect state taxes. Indiana may have arrangements with other collection agencies as well. If you have any problems with Premiere Credit of North America, please contact me. If you have assets seized relating to Indiana state taxes – even if Premiere Credit isn’t involved, please contact me. I am trying to find patterns that so fare have been elusive.
