In many cases, State Tax Collection authorities can be more aggressive and act before the IRS takes action. Typically, those who owe the IRS, also end up owing state tax. State tax collection authorities have tremendous reach and can cause financial hardship if not dealt with in a timely manner.  You should speak to a professional to review tax letters received from your State to determine the best course of action to resolve the issue.
