I moved from Virginia to Arkansas a few years ago, with my move-in date as January 1 to simplify taxes. After filing my previous year’s taxes (both VA and federal), the state of Arkansas sent me a letter demanding that I pay an estimated AR tax for the previous year because I had filed my federal taxes from an Arkansas address, but had not filed AR taxes.

I ended up having to go to court over it, twice so far. The first time was a “tax court”, and they deferred the judgement until I could obtain acceptable proof that I had held a driver’s license in another state for that year. The license itself wasn’t enough. The second time was after the judgement was issued anyways, and I had to file for it to be vacated.
