1. How does DOR collect? The DOR is authorized to use the same collection authorities used to collect delinquent taxes. These measures include, but are not limited to: Payment plans Refund intercepts Wage attachment orders Bank levies Records subpoena 2. What can I expect in the collection process? The referring agency is required to send a Notice of Referral to you at least 30 days prior to sending a debt to DOR. The notice provides an opportunity for you to contact the agency to resolve the obligation prior to referral. If you have not contacted the agency, the debt will be referred. DOR sets up a collection case for the debt and adds a collection fee. The fee is 15% of the amount referred (minimum $35.00). A Notice of Referred Debt is sent with contact information and a payment voucher.
If you are unable to pay the balance in full, you may request a payment plan. 3. How can I make a payment to restore privileges that have been suspended? Once the debt is referred to DOR, all payments must be made to DOR. We will apply payments to debts referred by agencies in the order the debt was received, first to debts referred by state agencies and then to debts referred by county and municipal governments. Reinstatement of a license or privilege: If an agency has suspended a license or privilege until the debt is paid in full, payment can be made in person at an office Location or the online payment application may be used to make a payment. Pay Online with My Tax Account In order to use the payment application, you must have the account number and period information located on either a Notice of Referred Debt or a Statement of Account. This application will display one or more debts owed to one agency. You may choose to make a payment in full or a partial payment. If debts are owed to more than one agency, you must repeat the payment request for each agency. The payment application is specific to debts owed through the State Debt Collection Initiative. Payments to DOR tax obligations using this application will not be accepted. 4. Who do I notify if I have filed bankruptcy? Please notify DOR and the referring agency in the event that bankruptcy is filed. DOR will stop collection actions until the bankruptcy has been discharged. If the debt survives bankruptcy, DOR will resume collections.
