Illinois tax scofflaws get outed on Web
SPRINGFIELD -- Illinois taxpayers and businesses owing more than $1,000 in delinquent taxes are going worldwide.
The Department of Revenue has posted its annual list of tax scofflaws on the Internet.
There are more than 100 entries owing a total of $6.3 million.
State law allows the department to post the names of taxpayers owing $1,000 or more for six months if they've been notified by mail.
This year, Revenue sent two rounds of notices to nearly 36,000 taxpayers and generated $15 million in payment.
The agency has also worked with state regulators to suspend the professional licenses of those owing taxes and have developed a computerized program that allows for phone-calling campaigns to specific debtors.
