Legal Question in Tax Law in Massachusetts

Insurance Intercept Program & State Income Tax Liability

If a person has an income tax liability owed to the State, and that tax liability is tied up in litigation before the Appellate Tax Board, can the State Dept. of Revenut still intercept/confiscate the proceeds of an accident insurance settlement? In general, the DOR does not conduct involuntary collection activities while a matter is in litigation. Should'nt this also prevent them from levying upon such an insurance settlement as well?

Yes, the DOR has the authority to collect taxes while in litigation. After you win your case, you then file for a refund.
