One man's story


I learned recently from a fellow living near by about his experience with the Idaho Tax Commission.

He suffered a heart attack!

I heard this and wondered what one of my long time friends meant when he learned I moved to Idaho and told me "Good Choice." I think he meant it to be positive, but could it perhaps be construed as a facetious remark?

It is probably not much different than another friend's comment after numerous questions I asked her about the oddities and unfriendliness of the community I chose to make a new home about three years ago. She answered saying "Well, welcome to Idaho!"

She grew up in the Silver Valley, but did she too hear Baba Ram Dass at one of his famous talks say " Well, here we are....."

Is it Idaho or is it Fantasyland?


Are you one of the many "fellow Idahoans", as Governor Kempthorne calls us, that has been harmed, in some way, shape or form, by improper activities of the Idaho Tax Commission? Well, if that's you, welcome, and feel free to add your story or post your comments.

My situation is one that has taken many "twisted turns" in the over two years I have been harassed by this agency, with no real purpose. I'll be posting more about it, but to start off the discussion, what about your notice to file returns for 4 years when you did not reside in the state.
