Florida taxpayers who owe unpaid state taxes can save money and clear up tax liabilities through Florida’s 2010 tax amnesty program. Under amnesty, you will pay no penalty and can receive up to a 50% reduction in the amount of interest owed.

All taxes administered by the Department of Revenue are eligible, except unemployment tax and Miami-Dade County Lake Belt Fees. Tax amnesty applies to tax, penalty, and interest that were due before July 1, 2010. You must complete a Tax Amnesty Agreement to participate. If you have tax liabilities, take advantage of tax amnesty now!

Florida’s tax amnesty program is an opportunity for you to voluntarily pay overdue taxes with no penalty and reduced interest. But you need to act quickly – the amnesty period runs from July 1 to September 30, 2010.

Am I eligible? What taxes are included in the tax amnesty program? Examples of “overlooked” taxes:

You and your business are eligible if your liability for tax, penalty, or interest was due before July 1, 2010 and:

1. You complete a Tax Amnesty Agreement
2. Your liability is not already covered by a settlement or payment agreement
3. You are not under a pretrial intervention or diversion program, probation, community control, or in a work camp, jail, state prison, or another correctional system regarding a Florida revenue law.
4. You are not under criminal investigation, indictment, information, or prosecution regarding a Florida revenue law.
