Waiver request submitted by James Michael "Mike" Johnson, State Representative - District 8, regarding a $1200 late fee assessed for filing his 2016 Tier 2 annual pfd 12 days late. |
|
Rep. Johnson stated that the late filing was neither willful nor deliberated. Rep. Johnson explained that when he received the NOD "...I was scrambling to return to Washington for a tumultuous week of work." Rep. Johnson further stated that as a result he misplaced the NOD and by the time he found it he realized he missed the deadline.
Rep. Johnson attempted to file an extension; however, the extension notice was due on May 15, 2017 and he did not file his notice until August 7, 2017; therefore, he was sent a NOD requesting he file his complete PFD.
