Waiver request submitted by Travis J. Turner, Ascension Parish Council Member/District 3, regarding a $2500 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2018 Tier 2 Annual PFD 335 days late. |
|
Travis Turner is requesting a waiver for failing to amend his 2018 PFD timely for the following reasons:
Mr. Turner stated he filed his Annual PFD on time, but did not intentionally omit the income from the schedule F form. He stated he did not receive the Notice of Delinquency and the Late Fee Order until almost a year later. Once he received the notice, he immediately corrected the problem and submitted the form. Mr. Turner stated he believes the $2,500 is an excessive amount, that would be a financial burden during these uncertain times. He humbly asks the Ethics Board to waive his late fee assessment.
