Bill > S01940

This bill amends the tax law to provide an automatic 60-day extension for federal government employees who are furloughed due to a government shutdown to file their tax returns or make tax payments without penalties or interest. It also requires the Department of Taxation and Finance to pay tax refunds to these affected taxpayers within 30 days of receiving their return, or provide written notice of any discrepancies. If the department fails to provide the refund or notice within the 30-day period, it must pay the taxpayer interest on the refund at a rate of 6% per annum.
