It's a lot easier than it looks.
Even though "the numbers" aren't available, plugging in any reasonable guesses regarding assets and o/s shares results in significantly lower tax amounts than the "authorized share method" that the state of Delaware uses if you don't do your own calculation or fail to provide them numbers to calculate with.
For frame of reference, using 722m o/s, 3B authorized and 22m assets generates a tax of $30,000+.
The state, using the authorized numbers that they KNOW, is calculating based on the A/S method, which results in the maximum tax for 2009 of $180,000. Which appears to be exactly what they did for y/e 2008.
Apparently nothing has been paid on the 2008 bill, which appears to be accruing interest, and estimates which were due on the 2009 bill are not reflected as having been paid on the statement either....although the filing itself is not yet due.
