After my licenses are suspended, what must be done to reinstate them?


Once a taxpayer is in compliance, the Department of Revenue will notify the appropriate license-issuing agency that the taxes have been paid or arrangements have been made to pay his or her delinquent individual income tax, interest, penalties, and all costs. A clearance letter will be issued to the taxpayer that must be submitted to the license-issuing agency. The license-issuing agency may charge a fee for license reinstatement.
