Mr. Bellard stated that when he received the NOD from our agency he put it with his tax documents to give to his CPA at the end of the year. He stated he did not realize at the time that the NOD was time sensitive. Mr. Bellard stated he did not intentionally disregard the notice and not file the PFD.
Note: Mr. Bellard did not specifically request a waiver for the 2015 late fee; however, it was addressed. A notice was sent to Mr. Bellard informing him that a waiver request related to his 2015 annual PFD was untimely (copy attached).
