STATEMENT OF CASE

An informal hearing was held in this matter on XXXXX. Lisa L. Olpin, Administrative Law Judge, heard the case on behalf of the Commission. Petitioner was present and represented himself.

FINDINGS

Petitioner filed his XXXXX individual income tax return in XXXXX after requested to do so by letter from the Tax Commission. Petitioner remitted the tax amount due of $$$$$ with the return.

As a result thereof, the Commission assessed Petitioner approximately $$$$$ in interest along with $$$$$ in late penalties.

Petitioner is requesting a waiver of the penalty and interest amounts.

According to Mr. XXXXX, in XXXXX he was a 17 year old high school junior working as a stocker at a grocery store. He did not file a state return at the time because he understood that he was under no obligation to file a federal return.

He is requesting a waiver of the penalty and interest amounts because he feels that these assessments are "ridiculously high compared to the $$$$$ of original tax owed".

DECISION AND ORDER

The Tax Commission finds sufficient cause exists to waive the $$$$$ penalty associated with the individual income tax due on the year XXXXX. Interest, however, is not waived. It is so ordered.

DATED this 30th day of March, 1994.

BY ORDER OF THE UTAH STATE TAX COMMISSION.
