STATEMENT OF CASE

An Informal Hearing was held on August 28, XXXXX. The hearing was conducted by telephone conference call between XXXXX, Utah, and the Tax Commission. XXXXX, Hearing Officer, conducted the hearing for the Tax Commission. Prior to the hearing, Petitioners presented evidence by letter dated August 18, XXXXX, which was made a part of the record.

The information presented as part of the record and also brought forth in the hearing indicated that the Petitioners had overpaid their taxes for XXXXX. They waited for a credit notification for the tax year XXXXX, after requesting the same from the Tax Commission. After not having any communication with the Tax Commission, the Petitioners paid their taxes for the quarters in XXXXX without receiving a notification of the credit or how to apply the credit. The Petitioners were subsequently assessed a late filing penalty.
