| Waiver request submitted by Douglas Durane Johnson, Winn Parish School Board - District 1, regarding a $400 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2014 Tier 3 annual PFD 8 days late. |
|
Mr. Johnson was asked to amend his pfd to disclose income received from the Winn Parish School Board. Mr. Johnson states that he made several attempts to timely file the amendment; however, he had difficulty completing the transmissions. Mr. Johnson states that eventually he mailed the amendment to the agency as instructed by agency staff.
A review of the attempted fax transmittals indicates that three attempts were made on June 21, 2016; four attempts were made on July 5, 2016; and three attempts were made on July 6, 2016. It appears that Mr. Johnson was trying to send to the agency's telephone number (and using the wrong area code), i.e., sending it to: 1-255-219-5600.
