Waiver request submitted by Brandon Shelvin, member of the Lafayette City-Parish Council, regarding a $2,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2011 Tier 2 annual pfd 258 days late. |
|
Mr. Shelvin thought that since he filed a notice of extension that he was not required to file. However, his notice of extension was not received by May 15, 2012, as such he was not entitled to an extension. Mr. Shelvin also states that he does not have the money to pay the late fee.
The staff sent Mr. Shelvin a request for additional information regarding the date he filed his 2011 federal tax return and supporting documentation of his alleged financial hardship. Mr. Shelvin was requested to respond by August 30, 2013. No response has been submitted.
