More than 20 Long Island taxpayers made the New York State Tax Department and Finance’s delinquent taxpayers "top 100” list this summer, battling a total debt of nearly $91 million in unpaid income and sales taxes.

State tax officials publish a list every few months of taxpayers falling into delinquency and facing at least one tax warrant. Authorities can use these warrants to seize personal belongings and property, withhold income and suspend driver's licenses . Warrants also can significantly affect one’s ability to buy real estate.
