Wow that sucks, seems like the seller in California should’ve been on the hook for that one. Maybe your home state when you register the plan there. Weird that California went after you.

I definitely got the intimidation vibes. I don’t even know what the other guy’s tax liability is or where I can get more info about it and next thing I was hearing was that our business will get garnished. I asked if she could explain what the basis was and if she could also send a document showing it and she refused to talk to me to explain it and said it’ll just arrive in the mail.

Thanks for the info, we used an attorney but it was a simple bill of sale for specific assets from the seller’s corporation (customer list, vendor accounts, website URL and brand name). Seems weird that there’s a need to get tax clearance, I don’t see how that’s different from buying a product or used equipment.

To be clear, it’s still the seller’s tax liability, right? You’re just saying that somehow CDTFA has powers to force my LLC to pay it or to force my LLC to be responsible for chasing the seller? Sounds like BS that they’re putting it on us and that they’re spending resources to squeeze us instead of going after those that really owe taxes.

how much would you charge to trace logos from images?
