Program Description
On August 17, 2017, the Multistate Tax Commission announced the rollout of its Online Marketplace Seller Voluntary Disclosure Initiative. This program is a "special" limited-time initiative which ends on October 17, 2017 designed to encourage taxpayers who sell through third-party marketplaces to come into full compliance with their state tax obligations.

Some states are waiving all back tax liability while others are limiting their look-back periods and/or waiving penalties.
