  Federal and State Tax Amnesty
 
 
   
::
The Maryland and Virginia tax agencies are implementing brief amnesty programs. They will permit taxpayers to resolve delinquent state taxes with large reductions in penalties and interest. Read The Washington Post article in which Mr. Haynes was quoted.
   
::
The Maryland amnesty period will run from September 1st to October 30th. Under the program, the Comptroller's Office will waive penalties and half the interest. This is a substantial concession, since Maryland's interest rate is a whopping 13%. Taxes can be paid under the program with a lump sum, or through a monthly payment installment agreement.
   
::
The Virginia amnesty legislation authorizes the Department of Taxation to offer amnesty for a period of 60 to 75 days and the Department has announced that the dates will be October 7th through December 5th. Like Maryland, it also waives penalties and half the interest, and will cover all taxes through tax year 2007. Taxes assessed less than 90 days prior to October 7th are not eligible.  And any eligible taxes not paid during the amnesty will have a 20% penalty added.  No monthly payment plans are being offered under the amnesty.

Sept 21st, 2009 - The IRS today announced a very brief extension of the current initiative aimed at facilitating the disclosure of previously hidden offshore accounts.  The settlement program was due to expire on September 23rd, but it has now been extended to October 15th, giving taxpayers another three weeks to come forward with information about their previously undisclosed foreign bank and financial accounts.
