Today marks the deadline for delinquent taxpayers to take advantage of the Missouri Tax Amnesty Program. Delinquent taxpayers – individuals and businesses – owe the state about $400-Million in back taxes. And, for the second straight year, the Department of Revenue has an Amnesty Program in effect. The Department’s Todd Iveson says the Program is on target to collect its goal of $10-Million. That’s only a fraction of the $400-Million owed. But, the Department is happy to see at least some delinquent taxpayers coming forward to get straight with the State. Iveson insists the state will not give up on going after delinquents. Back taxes can be paid, without interest and without penalties, through the end of business today.
