The Indiana Department of Revenue contacted me recently, claiming that I may owe back taxes from 2011. However, I was a resident of another state that year, and paid my taxes there in full and on time. I wrote back with a letter attesting to this fact, with my state tax return attached. Although I responded before the indicated deadline, my response has been mostly ignored. Instead, I received XXXX subsequent letters within about a month, demanding payment as part of a tax amnesty program by XXXX XXXX. Otherwise, I was warned that I would be subject to double penalties, civil, and criminal liabilities. Subsequent calls to the Indiana DOR after each letter acknowledged the receipt of my original response. However, it has gone unread to date, and thus failed to affect these collection efforts. 

I recently learned that XXXX letters like the ones I received were sent out to innocent people. Indiana 's government contracted with Navient Corporation, and agreed to pay them based on how much money they bring in : XXXX
