If you live in Mississippi or run a business in this state, you need to file tax returns with the Mississippi Department of Revenue. The DOR administers and collects individual income tax as well as business taxes such as withholding, sales and use, corporate tax, and franchise tax. It also handles a variety of special taxes for beer, tobacco, gaming, and more. 

The DOR can assess penalties and take collection actions against you if you don’t pay. If you get behind on business taxes, the state may even suspend your operations. Dealing with state tax issues can sometimes be even worse than dealing with the IRS. To ensure you get the best help possible, you should hire someone with experience working with your state’s DOR.
