| Appearance in connection with a waiver request submitted by William Bruce King, a member of the Naval War Memorial Commission, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2011 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 315 days late. |
|
Ms. King states that 2011 was the first year she and her husband did not file income tax returns and believes the pfd may have been rejected because of this. A pfd would not be rejected for this reason.
Ms. King states that the first notice she remembers receiving was the "second notice" on March 28, 2014. However, Mr. King personally signed the green card for the notice of delinquency received on May 10, 2013.
Mr. King suffered a stroke on February 15, 2014 and was in rehab when he suffered another episode on May 13, 2014. He was at the Baton Rouge General Hospital, then moved to the Baton Rouge Rehab Hospital and is now located at the Old Jefferson Community Care Center where he remains today. Pertinent bills have been provided.
Mr. King will be resigning from the Commission due to his health problems.
