Can the state of MD actually screw me this bad?
Just got a notice of tax assessment from the state of Maryland.
Get this: account year: 2002 tax liability: $.51 (yes, that's 51 cents) interest: $74.96 penalty: $.05 balance due: $75.52 Yes, that's $75.52 because I still owe the state 51 lousy cents!! Are they for real? I'll be calling my tax guy in the morning. Thanks, Maryland, for ruining an otherwise nice day. Just one of many reasons why I'll never live in that state.

Wow.
Maybe the interest and penalty lines got swapped? I would think that even the government would have to follow standard accounting practices when calculating interest... |

Md has usury laws, maximum interest charged. Appeal, appeal, appeal.

The car tax was on its way out, but then a big spending democrat was elected governor.
(To be fair, the previous rep. gov. spent a lot of money too.)

Since you no longer live in that state, why not just send them a polite letter instructing them to "Eat my shorts" ? They aren't going to come looking for you for such a small amount, they are just simply fishing for guppies.

Haven't you heard? -- Maryland is the most corrupted state in the Union. Just check out those good 'ole boys in Annapolis at lunch time and you will understand why
And oh, somebody has to pay for their 56' sail boats.

Think that's bad? Most homeowners associations can take your house, and sell it for back dues. Seen it happen, mostly to older people.
