Florida forgave $124.2 million in taxes and fines
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) For the third year in a row, Florida is giving up on collecting more than $100 million in taxes, fees and fines owed the state.
But the amount of money the state is walking away from continues to grow. Data released this past month shows that the state forgave $124.2 million in the fiscal year that ended June 30.
Florida in 2011 wrote off $110.5 million as uncollectable, while the number was more than $109 million the year before
The overall amount of money that Florida is losing is small compared with the size of the state's annual $70 billion budget. But the failure to collect the money comes amid year after year of state budget cuts.

It could be from Probate and foreclosure.
