One man was airlifted after a pickup truck crash early this morning (Saturday) on Highway 70 near Sligo bridge (Smithville side).

The accident is under investigation by the Tennessee Highway Patrol and the man’s name has not yet been released.

Although the truck was on the highway, the injured man, still conscious, was found about 85 to 100 feet down an embankment off the road. Authorities have not said whether the man was ejected from the truck or walked away from the crash and found himself off the embankment.

Members of local EMS, first responders, law enforcement, and the Smithville-DeKalb County Rescue Squad converged on the scene. Climbing rope and a stokes basket were used to gain access to the victim and bring him to the top of the hill. He was taken by DeKalb EMS to a helicopter landing zone on the Sparta side of Sligo bridge set up by the DeKalb County Volunteer Fire Department.

April 15 isn’t just the deadline for the filing and payment of federal individual income tax. For some taxpayers, it’s also the due date for the filing and payment of certain state taxes.

In Tennessee, April 15 is the due date for business tax and franchise and excise tax for companies that report on a calendar year basis. In addition, taxpayers subject to the Hall income tax must file and pay that tax by April 15.

“The fiscal year end for most businesses is December, meaning that their business tax returns and payments are due to the Department of Revenue no later than April 15, 2019.  Please remember the filing and payment dates for business owners are not the same as the business license expiration which is 30 days AFTER your taxes are due to be filed and paid,” said County Clerk James L. (Jimmy) Poss.

The Department’s website offers a convenient and secure way for taxpayers to file and pay these taxes online. Taxpayers should visit the “online services” section of the Department’s website to file and pay these taxes and to learn more information.

“The Department of Revenue will be sending postcard reminders to businesses that do not have a TNTAP filing username established reminding them to please do so right away so they can file and pay online by the due date,” Poss continued.

“Anyone needing assistance establishing a TNTAP logon, filing or submitting payment for a business tax renewal may contact our office for assistance. I personally provide assistance for not only business tax filings and payment submissions, but also sales and use tax, (HVUT) Heavy Vehicle use tax and obtaining FEIN Federal Employee Identification numbers,” Poss concluded.

More information about these taxes may also be found on the Department of Revenue’s website, www.tn.gov/revenue
