The 121st Legislature and Governor Baldacci have enacted the 2003 Tax Amnesty Program open to most taxpayers who owe Maine taxes. If you owe Maine taxes and pay all of the tax plus one-half of the interest due, the remaining interest and all of the penalties will be waived. Although the Maine Amnesty Program will run September 1, 2003 through November 30, 2003, you may apply for a Pre-Amnesty Settlement from July 1, 2003 through August 31, 2003.

Maine's 1040 Telefile system has been discontinued. Individual taxpayers may use E-File (commercial software) or I-File (free, interactive, web-based filing). Note that I-File is available for property, payroll and sales taxes.

Extended Tax Amnesty was a two-month opportunity to resolve overdue tax obligations with DOR without incurring any penalty charges. Extended Tax Amnesty ran from January 1, 2003 until February 28, 2003. The Department is now utilizing improved technological resources to identify those taxpayers with delinquent tax obligations.
