State Tax Amnesty Ends Wednesday
If you are in arrears on money you owe the State of Texas, you may be able to avoid paying penalties, but you have to act by this Wednesday, August 15. That's the end of the "tax amnesty" period. The amnesty period applies to sales tax, franchise tax and all other state and any local taxes and fees administered by the state Comptroller, except unclaimed property and Public Utility Commission gross receipts assessments. Eligible taxpayers include those who did not file a required tax return or report; misrepresented, understated or omitted any tax liability on a past report; or erroneously claimed tax credits or tax deductions. The amnesty does notapply to assessments already identified by the Comptroller, taxpayers currently under audit or review or taxpayers the Comptroller has already contacted about an audit or possible tax deficiency. For details, check the amnesty web site at www.freshstart.texas.gov or call the state Comptroller's office at (800) 252-1390. You can also stop by the Comptroller's field office. We have a field office here in the same building where our District 137 office is located at 7011 Harwin (Harwin at Savoy). The number there is (713) 777-1881. As always, let us know if we can be of help with this. BTW, we have changed the service that we use to distribute these emails. If you find any problem with this new service, please let us know.
Sincerely,
Scott Hochberg
