FOR THE SECOND YEAR A ROW, ILLINOIS COMPTROLLER SUSANA MENDOZA IS ANNOUNCING A BREAK FOR STRUGGLING TAXPAYERS.

LOW TO MODERATE-INCOME TAXPAYERS WILL NOT HAVE OUTSTANDING FINES LIKE PARKING TICKETS DEDUCTED FROM THEIR REFUNDS THIS YEAR SAYS COMPTROLLER MENDOZA.

MENDOZA STRESSES THAT TAXPAYERS WILL HAVE TO PAY THEIR FINES EVENTUALLY, JUST NOT THIS YEAR. 

THE DEFERMENT DOES NOT APPLY TO OVERDUE CHILD SUPPORT, WHICH WILL STILL BE DEDUCTED.
