CA is particularly bad but I've seen this from smaller states as well. I went to grad-school in PA (CMU). After graduating and moving out of PA, a couple years later PA demanded taxes on income I only earned after leaving the state.
It amounted to only like $40 and I was afraid it'd cost way more to fight so I just paid it, even though it was a completly fabricated tax bill. Today I'd fight it just on principle but I was too poor then and couldn't afford to talk to a CPA or lawyer.
