| Waiver request submitted by Peter E. Moss, II, Audubon Commission, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2013 Tier 2.1 annual PFD 125 days late. |
|
Mr. Moss states that the employee (M. Patrykus) who signed for the Notice of Delinquency (in February 2015) never gave him the notice. He explains that Mr. Patrykus was undergoing chemotherapy at the time and his memory and functional skills were not as sharp as before his treatments began. However, according to the database, Mr. Moss called the staff on February 5, 2015, 3 days after receiving the NOD, stating he would file both his 2013 and 2014 pfds and that he wanted his business address to remain the address used by the Board, which is the address the NOD was sent.
Mr. Moss further explains that he serves on the commission without receiving any compensation.
