RE:
Waiver request submitted by Aristides R. Baraya, with the Hammond Area Economic Industrial and Development District, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2016 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 55 days late.
Facts:
Mr. Baraya states that he inadvertently forgot to complete his Schedule E for his 2016 PFD. When he realized his mistake, he completed an amendment. He states that he did not receive the NOD because is was sent to an old address. The green card was not signed by Mr. Baraya. For these reasons, he is requesting a waiver of the late fee.
