Los Angeles County tax records, says that Sam Sayyad owed $7,630 on 15 tax liens on his auto repair business. Two liens, worth $981, were released in 1999 after Sayyad paid them off.

now, I’m going to seriously guess here, but, I’d guess the back taxes are State Board of Equalization now $400/yr excise tax. Even if you claim no profits, you still pay the $400/yr. If you do claim profits, you pay tax on that profit instead. I’d tieny-tiny guess, he reported no profit on his business, so is being levied the minimum $400 (probably a little less in the 90’s). This bears out with a story that Sam Sayyad owed $7630 on 15 tax liens on his auto repair business, and two liens, worth $981, were paid in 1999 (when solis was first running for senate) and I’d also tieny-tiny guess, his wife, participated in the business before she became a state politician.

I looked into Solis right after she was nominated, so my memory on particulars is not real good, but I recall thinking that the guy had no income. There were some forms that she had filled out concerning income and it required she show all income. All that was on it was her stuff, but it seemed that if he had anything it should have been on the form, but it wasn’t. Your idea about those taxes is probably right on. I wonder if there is a way to tell if a building is rented out. I did find where his auto repair shop was at and I looked at on street view on google and it does appear to be an auto repair shop. It has the double doors anyway:)
