Wisconsin Putting Names of Delinquent Taxpayers Online
Posted by Merrill Baumann
Many businesses look to enhance revenues with online activities. Add to this group a growing number of state and county taxing authorities, who now publish names of delinquent taxpayers on their website. The newest state is Wisconsin, whose Department of Revenue last month sent out over 7,000 letters to taxpayers, warning that their names will be put on the new online delinquent taxpayer list early next year if they don't pay up or agree to a payment plan. Wisconsin joins Washington, California, New Jersey, Minnesota, North Carolina, South Carolina, and several other states with this practice. Louisiana leaves no doubt over their site's objective, calling it "Cybershame."
When will this list be available? Or if it is how do I access it?
