2017 Top Delinquent Taxpayers in Wauwatosa, Wis.

WAUWATOSA, WI - There are many reasons why people owe back taxes to the State of Wisconsin, but for everyone who owes more than $5,000, the state publishes their names in a list for the public to see.

Research by Patch.com has found - as of earlier this year - that the top Wauwatosa city residents and businesses owed the state a grand total of more than $3.8 million as of early 2017. That's approximately $300,000 more than the same number of Wauwatosa delinquent taxpayers owed in mid-2016.

You could support the beginning of a decent road project for that kind of money - or pay for a lot of veterans' services.

Here is the State of Wisconsin's list of the largest delinquent taxpayers in Wauwatosa. We listed the top 70 (who owed more than $5,000) in 2016. This year, we listed the same number of taxpayers - and the amount owed went up.

The department will not post the accounts of taxpayers who have:

• entered into a valid payment plan,
• submitted a complete Petition for Compromise, or
• filed for bankruptcy.
• In addition, revoked sellers who have been out of business for at least one (1) year shall be removed from the revoked sellers Internet page

If your name or the name of your business appears on the Internet posting, the department strongly encourages you to:

• Contact either the revenue agent assigned to your case (listed on the Notice of Pending Internet Posting) or the department’s Compliance Bureau at (608) 266-7879 to arrange for payment.
