better to throw them a bone and file it with a couple online purchases.
what state is your accountant in?

I'm surprised they've let this go unchecked for so long. Use Tax has been partially active in Hawaii for years. Trouble is they're only able to implement it halfway, because additional tax collection rules will need to be changed/updated/modified. So Hawaii (for example) collects (requires submission of) Use Tax on purchases that are imported to the state, but they do not yet collect on online sales to outside the state, (assuming all other requirements for that have been met).

Looks like some of these other states are getting more aggressive now though that they've run out of money.
