I’m in the U.S. Army. Shortly after filing my indiana states taxes for 2005 I deployed to Afghanistan. I apparently owed the state revenue service around $40. I am pretty sure I acknowledged this before I deployed but I guess it slipped my mind.

Apparently the revenue service tried to get a hold of me (which they obviously weren’t able to) regarding the situation. Eventually, a sheriff was sent to the address listed on my Indiana state driver’s license and the state revenue service reported a no payment tax lien on my credit report.

All in all, the state got their crummy 40 bucks but I have the negative hit on my credit report.

I was turned down for a car loan because of it. Am I able to dispute this? If this had been under normal circumstances I would have been on top of things and this thing would have gotten paid before anything bad happed.
