The state of Utah's government bureaucracy is horrible to work with.

You can substitute just about any State for Utah in this statement

I disagree. I've worked with PA, UT, OR, WA. Only UT is this awful.

Brutal. I'd demand to speak to bosses until someone could fix it.

Did you actually owe the $8,000 in sales tax? If not, why would you agree to pay

I understand that I wrote this in a hurry and wasn't clear, but re read haha

Just did. Still don't see the answer to that question. Was it a legitimate debt?

The sales tax piece was somewhere around 4, some of it was miscellaneous stuff

I'm not convinced the debt was legit. They will assume your business owed $xx

Yeah, I bet he owed a lot less than that if he would have filed correctly.

I did and I still don't know if you actually owed it. Just because the State

Yup. Bingo. Maybe we should all be mad that the state of Utah appeared ready to forgive some of the $8000

Yeah, there was a lot of settling going on from both sides. I saw $4,000,

Agreed. They initially said "no chance." I yelled at a couple people (unlike me)

If the business was bankrupt, why pay anything?

I agree haha. I had to settle, got stuck.

I am pretty sure that the responsible party can be held personally liable for failing to remit taxes, regardless

I imagine fighting it would be costly on many levels as well.

No, I'm pretty good with law stuff. I don't think you know what you're talking about.

Silver lining: it's not California. They would have drained your bank accounts
