Tax simplification and taxpayer education are central to increasing tax compliance and will help ensure tax fairness With this goal in mind, a coalition of business and trade groups has announced a joint effort to educate Montana and nonresident taxpayers about their tax liabilities related to real estate transfers through development of a brochure. The brochure will be distributed to realtors, title companies, CPAs, Clerk and Recorders, and other closing agents.
