The largest difference between state and fed reported gross income was $100,000. It took me a couple hours to write and test the SQL scripts which did the comparison, so it wasn't a case of "thousands of dollars chasing hundreds of dollars", as someone with little knowledge of the subject implied.
The difference threshold could be any amount. My first run using $250 found over 10,000 thousand returns. Using $1,000 found over 1,000 returns, IIRC, and they were sent letters. Using $10,000 found over a hundred, which included the $100,000 cheater. No one makes an accidental $100,000 mistake.
Currently the NE tax collections are down $700 MILLION and the Dept is under staffed and over worked. They can't afford to pay new hires the current salary businesses pay so hiring quality programmers is hard. Keeping them is equally hard.

So in theory, what would be cost effective to pursue?? 1,000?? 10,000??? 500??
Still spending thousands to chase hundreds.
I understand that there are hundreds of thousands, perhaps even millions of use tax dollars unreported, I also understand that the dollars are spread out over hundreds of thousands of tax payers, and it costs money to find those tax returns, it costs money to audit those returns, and it will cost thousands to pursue legal action against said tax payers.

And as a business owner I have had experience dealing with the Department of Revenue and had a friend that was a programmer at the Department of banking.

Contrary to popular opinion state employees cannot make up rules on the fly as they do their jobs. They are legally bound to follow the letter of the laws when dealing with the public. You know that from dealings with the rules for obtaining a CHP.

Only without representation. You get what you vote for, if who you vote for is honest.
