Overdue sales taxes?
I have been paying sales taxes on my business on time and in full for a year. The year prior, my book keeper did not file or pay, so I have about $13,000 in backed sales taxes that I owe to the state of Illinois. A collection officer told me if I do not pay the full amount in 1 week, they will shut me down. I asked for a payment plan but he said no. I cannot get this kind of money...what can I do? I don't understand why hes being so unreasonable, especially if I have been paying for a year on time, and am current. Would they want to shut down a perfectly fine tax-paying business because of some backed sales taxes? What are my options?

The state of Illinois can be very difficult to work with, but it is not impossible.
Please give me a call to discuss this situation. Oftentimes when an attorney is involved it lends more credibility to your situation and a payment arrangement can be worked out.
