Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 50, December 13, 2024
Section 5220 - Premature or Untimely Petition May be Treated as an Administrative Protest
(a) If an appeal is filed as a petition for redetermination prior to or after the expiration of the applicable time periods provided for in section 5211, the appeal does not qualify as a valid petition for redetermination. However, such an appeal may be treated as an administrative protest if the Deputy Director of the Department that issued the notice being disputed by the taxpayer determines, in his or her discretion, that there is a reasonable basis to believe that there may be an error in the taxpayer's notice.
(b) If a premature or untimely appeal is treated as an administrative protest, the administrative protest will be reviewed in the same manner as a petition for redetermination, except that requests for an appeals conference or Board hearing may be denied, although such requests will be liberally granted.
(c) A claim for refund should be filed for each payment made on an administrative protest.
