Waiver request submitted by Jay Banks, Ernest N. Morial New Orleans Exhibition Hall Authority, regarding a $1,350 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2015 Tier 2.1 annual PFD 27 days late. |
|
Mr. Banks stated that the NOD was signed for by an employee at the front desk of his job. He explained that the notice was put in the wrong mail bin and it took some time before he actually saw the notice.
Mr. Banks further explained that the information requested in the amendment was straightforward (the income his wife received from the state) and he had no intention of filing the amendment untimely.
Mr. Banks has requested that the agency change his address of record to his home address so that there is no chance of this situation happening again.
