State Exposes Corona Del Mar Tax Delinquents

Just in time for tax day, the state has issued a list of the 500 people who owe the most in state income tax.

Donald A. and Christine A. Wattson of Corona Del Mar  made the list. The Wattsons owe the state $171,442.24, according to the Franchise Tax Board.

A lien was filed on Wattsons on Sept. 27, 2011.

Last year the legislature gave the FTB more power and required them to publish more tax delinquents twice a year. The boards new powers include the ability to request that other states help collect California's income tax debts.

The board can now release the professions and professional license numbers of tax delinquents, too.

Here are other offenders from Patch cities in Orange County:
