I worked under employer A(consulting firm) in 2002 and I was on bench for the initial 4 months(he did not pay a penny to me for these 4 months ). I was in a different State A when I was on bench.
I changed to a different employer B in 2003 working in State B. Surprisingly in 2004 employer A called me and said he is going to send me a check for the basic salary (around 2k per month) for the bench period(4 months in 2002) since he got some instructions from labor department(or INS?) to pay that amount, not only me but for other employees also who are on bench.
I got the check from employer A in 2004, also W2 for that amount and I paid State tax to State A and did not included this amount while paying State tax for this amount to State B for 2004.
Now I got a letter from State Tax Board(STB) of State B to pay the tax for the above amount also. And I told STB that I got this amount from employer A for the period that I am not resident of State B and STB asked me to send the copy of instructions that employer A got from Labor department or INS, when I tried to contact the employer to get the copy of the notice he got, I came to know that that consulting firm dosen't exists any more.
Please help me! and advise,suggest me on how to resolve this issue.
Many Many advanced thanks for the helper!
