Your Hawaii Tax Agency

Agency: Hawaii Department of Taxation (DOTAX)
Phone: (808) 587-4242
Portal: tax.hawaii.gov
State income tax: Yes

Collection Statute of Limitations

Collection by levy or proceeding generally within 15 years after assessment (Haw. Rev. Stat. §231-23(d)(2)); liens under §231-33.

Verified Hawaii Resolution Options

Installment agreements: Installment plan agreements under DOTAX authority (Haw. Rev. Stat. §231-3) via Hawaii Tax Online.

Offer in compromise / settlement: Compromise of taxes authorized under Haw. Rev. Stat. §231-3(10) (doubt as to collectibility or liability).

Penalty abatement: Penalty waiver for reasonable cause under Haw. Rev. Stat. §231-39(b)(4).

Wage / levy protection: Federal CCPA floor (15 U.S.C. §1673): ordinary creditor garnishment limited to the lesser of 25% of disposable earnings or the amount exceeding 30× the federal minimum wage. State tax levies on wages may exceed this consumer cap at agency discretion. Hawaii uses a graduated formula but in practice protects roughly 95% of the first $100 monthly, with the federal 75% floor (Haw. Rev. Stat. §652-1).

Citation status: Agency-level guidance with best-documented citations; confirm exact section numbers with the agency. HRS §231-3 (compromise/admin powers) and §652-1 (wage exemption) reflect documented Hawaii law; the 15-year collection figure (§231-23) follows DOTAX guidance but was not independently re-confirmed to the subsection.
