We strongly encourage electronic submission of materials when possible. The Tax Commission Appeals Unit does not maintain paper files and all documents are stored electronically. If you submit a paper copy, the Appeals Unit will scan your document into the electronic file for your appeal and will then shred the paper copy.

Submit information electronically using the following methods:

• TCAP
• By filling out the provided online Tax Appeal forms and submit them by email in a PDF format.
• Email: [email protected]

Paper Documents: To facilitate scanning, all paper documents including text, illustrations, maps, charts, and spreadsheets are required to be submitted on 8½ x 11-inch letter-size paper. All paper documents should be submitted as single sided documents. Paper documents should not be bound with coil, comb, velo strips or taped.

Document Title: The title of each document filed with the Tax Commission, Appeals Unit must include the appeal number and an identification of the filing party, such as appeal number and “Petitioner”, “Respondent” or ex rel Party.”

Exhibits: Exhibits: Unless otherwise stated in a Scheduling Order, all exhibits need to be submitted and exchanged with the opposing party at least 10 business days prior to the hearing. When submitting exhibits it is encouraged that the Petitioner labels their exhibits alphabetically and the Respondent label their exhibits numerically. Each exhibit needs to be clearly labeled with the exhibit letter or number. A party may scan all exhibits together in one PDF, with a separation page labeled with the exhibit letter or number between each exhibit. Or a party may submit each exhibit as a separate pdf, but the party must include the exhibit number in the name under which the PDF is saved.

Please Note: Enlarged copies may be used in the scheduled proceeding for demonstration purposes only, but you will need to submit an 8 ½ by 11 inch sized copy at the hearing.
