MASSACHUSETTS - Multiple Taxes: Certificate of Good Standing may be Obtained Online

The Massachusetts Department of Revenue has rolled out an online program that enables taxpayers to obtain, in as little as three days, a Certificate of Good Standing indicating they owe no Massachusetts taxes.

A two-step application process requires the taxpayer to enter certain background information and then return to the website within 48 hours. The delay allows the Department to search its databases for any unpaid tax liabilities or un filed taxes. Taxpayers in full compliance will be given a choice of printing out their certificate or having one mailed to them. Those with tax bills will be able to make full payment electronically. The new program should be invaluable for those with pending sales, refinancing, or other business reasons that necessitate quick proof that the taxpayer owes no taxes.
