Waiver request submitted by Kyle C. Boss, St. Landry Parish School Board, District 8, regarding a $2500 late fee assessed for filing his 2020 Tier 2 annual pfd 34 days late. |

Krystal Gerwin is submitting a waiver request on behalf of Mr. Kyle Boss. Ms. Gerwin stated the filing of the disclosure was delayed due to the sudden passing of Mr. Boss' prior accountant, Dallas Fleming Jr., on January 17, 2021. Mr. Boss was forced to file an IRS tax extension and find a new CPA to handle his accounts and filings. The search for a new CPA and collecting all of his documents to give to the new accountant was time-consuming. He sold his business in 2022, which needed to be accounted for. There was a miscommunication between him and this new accountant with the filing process which led to further delay. As soon as his taxes were filed, he filed his disclosure on March 30, 2022. Ms. Gerwin claims the letters were delivered to the wrong address and Mr. Boss did not receive it until the next day. Ms. Gerwin is asking the Ethics Board to waive the $2,500 late fee. Staff verified that the address listed in his disclosure is the address listed on his Notice of Delinquency-Failure to File and the Late Fee Order.
