Did you ever register as a retailer with MO DOR? It sounds like you should have registered, and then you would have collected sales tax on your MO sales, and filed sales tax returns.
You mentioned responding to 2 letters - what did they want you to submit beside the tax money? Did they ask you to fill out tax returns?

The state always makes the assumption that gets them the most money and then lets you prove them wrong.
Every state sets their own threshold for requiring tax collection, so it was always safest to register then collect and remit very little. Since you didn’t register, they are starting with all of your sales.
I think if you fill out the tax return form showing that most of your sales were out of state, and that you accept responsibility for tax on your MO sales - which you will calculate on the form - they should not want to spend time going to court.
As I mentioned, they will probably add penalties and interest, but if the tax amount is small the interest will also be small. The sales tax return form may have the calculation on it.
I’m going to download the MO form in case you have other questions.
