Anonymous Utah man repays taxes after 1950s belief
An anonymous Utah taxpayer sent a $3,000 cashier’s check to the State Tax Commission with a letter claiming true repentance requires restitution for failing to report income in the 1950s because he opposed income tax and foreign-government aid. The note, postmarked Salt Lake City, cites misreporting and the need to repay. A Kanab store operator received $150 for $144 taken in February after an anonymous confession and partial repayment.
