The first phase of the Office of Tax and Revenue’s changeover to a new system is coming soon. The new system will help make processing more effective and efficient – thereby aiding taxpayers and practitioners alike.

As OTR approaches conversion of Individual Income, Fiduciary and Estate tax information from the current Integrated Tax System (ITS) to the Modernized Integrated Tax System (MITS), it will continue to accept returns, process payments and make adjustments to accounts, as usual.

However, processing of new returns received after October 1, 2015, will be deferred until the new MITS system goes live on October 26, 2015. All requests for refunds submitted at this time will be issued after October 26, 2015.
