Here are the key points simplified:</p><ul role="list"><li><strong>Reliance on written advice:</strong> Penalties and interest will be waived if you can show that you reasonably relied on written advice from the Division that ultimately proved to be erroneous, provided the advice was not the result of your failure to provide adequate or accurate information.</li><li><strong>Interview rights:</strong> You may have an attorney and/or accountant with you at any conference. You may record the interview if prior notice has been given.</li><li><strong>Registered or certified mail:</strong> Final audit notices and "Notice and Demand for Payment of Tax" letters will be sent by registered or certified mail.</li><li><strong>Payment agreements: </strong>Requests for payment agreements will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. If a payment agreement is set up for you, it will include your unpaid tax, any penalties you owe, and interest. You should be aware that although a payment agreement extends the time to pay your liability, interest continues to accrue until the liability is paid in full.</li><li><strong>Legal action against the Division:</strong> If a Division employee knowingly and recklessly disregards any tax law or fails to release a lien, a taxpayer may sue for damages.</li><li><strong>Appeal rights:</strong> If you disagree with a determination made by the Division, you may file a proper, written protest and request an informal administrative conference with the Conference and Appeals Branch or file an appeal with the required fee to the Tax Court.<strong>‍</strong></li><li><strong>Penalties, interest, and collection fees:</strong> Your first underpayment notice is comprised of tax, interest, and a late filing penalty (5% per month up to 25%). If a bill is not paid by the “Pay By” date indicated, an additional late payment penalty of 5% will apply. A $100 per month penalty also may be imposed for each month (or a fraction thereof) the return is late. The annual interest rate is 3% above the prime rate. Interest is imposed on every month or fraction of a month the tax is unpaid, compounded annually. If your tax bill is sent to our collection agency, a referral cost recovery fee of 11% of the tax due will be added to your liability.
