Montgomery, AL – Alabama Revenue Commissioner Tim Russell says the state's reprieve for tax dodgers has produced several hundred phone calls from people and businesses interested in catching up on their taxes.
Russell kicked off Operation Clean Slate on Feb. 1. It ends May 15. The program allows people to catch up on their taxes without interest or penalties.
Russell says it's too early to predict how much revenue the program might produce. But he says he's optimistic it will be more than the $3 million generated by a similar program in 1983.
