The Nevada Department of Taxation has announced the tax amnesty program established by law in July 2020 will begin February 1, 2021, and run through May 1, 2021. The program is open to individuals and businesses and will waive penalties and interest upon full payment of eligible unpaid taxes, fees or assessments.

The lookback period for unfiled taxes is eight years.
