RE:
Waiver request submitted by Mr. William Shane Hart, with the Boeuf River Soil and Water Conversation District, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2016 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 346 days late.
Facts:
Mr. Hart states that he and his wife have a "separate property" agreement and he believed that because of this agreement, her income did not need to be reported on his PFD. After consulting with an attorney and the staff of the Board of Ethics, he understands that he must report his wife's income on Schedule E. He has since correctly reported the information required.
