OP claims "they have not sued me or sent me any sort of court order"

Edit: According to [0] they don't need to. They just send you a notice and if you don't respond in time they take what they want. It's not clear what constitutes responding or how to get the case into a court and out of an administrative process. I don't know about the out-of-state bank thing.

This seems highly unlikely. I only spent one year of law school in MA, but i distinctly remember that any sort of prejudgment attachment required a court order.

I'd believe that, I didn't do a thorough search. But the document that claims to describe Mass DOR collections doesn't cover it.

FWIW: I can find state tax liens with these names on it, but it may or may not be in any way relate to this.
