**MEDIA ADVISORY**
Thursday, April 3, 2008
ST. LOUIS – The Illinois and Missouri Departments of Revenue will come together with a local green office supply company to encourage taxpayers to Go Green and file their taxes electronically. When taxpayers file their taxes electronically, the Departments of Revenue see a reduction in paper use throughout the tax process; from the printing of fewer tax booklets to receiving fewer forms in the mail from taxpayers. This year, the states are encouraging taxpayers to file electronically as a green alternative to millions of paper forms the Departments see every year.

WHAT: | As the final days of the tax filing season get closer and closer the Illinois and Missouri Departments of Revenue will come together to encourage last minute taxpayers to Go Green and file their taxes electronically. |
WHEN: | 11:00 a.m. |
WHERE: | Keener Plaza (across the street from the Old Courthouse) St. Louis, MO |
