I didn't mean to be mean-spirited in my reply to you, but it is
difficult for me to understand how someone wouldn't look at their
retirement deposit information and note that no state income tax was
being withheld. I was in the same boat, but caught it in time.

Oops! My very sincere appologies to you!!!!

I didn't note that you had been trying to do this for a year. Yes,
they are morons (generally we call them Bureauocrats) in the Federal
Government for taking so long.
Never-the-less ,,, why didn't you make quarterly payments to the
State while waiting on a response from the Feds? That's what saved us
from your situation.
