Sounds like a scam.

As a Massachusetts resident I am required to file 
state income tax.  Last year I was due a refund from the state.  A 
whopping $56.  Instead of my refund check, I got a Notice of Intent to 
Assess.  Seems it wasn't an audit as it was not required that I 
respond.  However, if I wanted my $56 I had to provide them, by 
mail, with copies of all my receipts, a copy of a list of all my customers 
including their addresses and phone numbers, and a copy of a list of all my 
suppliers with addresses and phone numbers.  So...I picked an average month 
and then multiplied by twelve, just to get an idea what would be involved to get 
my $56 check from the state.  It was going to cost more than the refund 
check to make all the copies and send them!
 
Now this year I'm paying them.  I feel 
cheated!
