Waiver request submitted by Paul Ogden Johnson, Louisiana Rice Promotion Board, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his 2019 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 390 days late. |
|
Mr. Johnson is asking for a waiver. He states his CPA assistant did not do what he paid her to do. He has been through 2 major hurricanes. He has 4 boys to provide for and his wife is helping on the farm because he can't find anyone to work. He states that he has not received any mail, as we had an old address, so he had no idea this report was not filed. He states his current address is 12147 Arceneaux Road. The address we mailed the NOD and Late Fee letter was 12354 East Niblett.
Staff Notes: The Niblett address is the last address provided by Mr. Johnson on his last filed report.
