Waiver request submitted by William Stoudt, Volunteer Louisiana Commission, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2013 Tier 2.1 Annual PFD 210 days late. |
|
Mr. Stoudt states that he was unfamiliar with the reporting requirements. He filed a disclosure statement in May 2013; therefore, when he received the Notice of Delinquency asking that he file a PFD covering 2013, he thought he had filed for that year and did not respond to the Notice. He further states that he now understands the requirements and intends to fully comply.
