The Commonwealth of Massachusetts will offer a limited tax amnesty for certain “eligible taxpayers” from Nov. 1 through Dec. 30.
“Eligible taxpayers” can forward and bring their tax liabilities up to date and receive a penalty abatement. This group includes businesses, individuals, trusts and estates. Taxpayers that are currently in resolution with the Massachusetts Department of Revenue have pending cases or open collection cases will qualify for amnesty along with taxpayers that have unfiled returns or underreported returns.
Amnesty claims must be made and any outstanding liabilities must be paid by Dec. 30.
Taxpayers that are under criminal investigation, applied for the prior amnesty in 2015-16 and taxpayers in bankruptcy or seeking refunds are not eligible for this amnesty.
