Tax Amnesty Comes to Ohio–How About Loveland?
The Ohio Society of CPAs newsletter tells me the following about the program, which also is a Money Tip of the Day for Ohio residents with state tax delinquency and payment issues:
The Ohio Department of Taxation (ODT) recently announced the 2006 Tax Amnesty Program that will allow taxpayers to pay back taxes without penalty from Jan. 1 to Feb. 15, 2006.
Legislation to implement the program, which was supported by The Ohio Society, was included in the state’s biennial budget enacted this summer.
According to the ODT, tax amnesty is being offered for six weeks because many Ohioans may have made inadvertent errors or withheld important tax information in their past filings due to the changes in Ohio’s tax code in recent years and its general complexity.
….. The 2006 Tax Amnesty Program allows affected taxpayers to take advantage of a limited-time opportunity to pay back taxes without penalty. Additionally, the program reduces any outstanding interest charges by 50 percent.
Would it be too much to ask the state to extend the program just a teeny bit to Loveland, that desperate Southwestern Ohio suburb of Cincinnati, so this ongoing national embarrassment in the amount of $1.16 can go away?
