This bill is effective on the 91st day after adjournment sine die (on or about October 8, 2013). HB 2464 (Information Return Penalties) This bill allows the Department to assess penalties when a person fails to file or who files an incomplete or incorrect information return. The penalty is $50 per information return (W2 or 1099) up to a maximum amount of $2,500. This bill also allows for penalties for a person who knowingly fails to file or knowingly files an incomplete, false or misleading information return. The penalty is $250 per information return up to a maximum amount of $25,000.

SB 184 (Delivery of Notice of Garnishment) This bill allows an employee of the Department to deliver a Notice of Garnishment to a garnishee in person, by first class mail, certified mail or another method if the garnishee has approved an alternate method.

This bill had an emergency clause and became effective upon passage. SB 185 (Notice of Garnishment exclusions) This bill eliminates the requirement of the Department to deliver a warrant or a true copy of the warrant with a Notice of Garnishment when garnishing the property of a debtor. This bill also removes the requirement of a handwritten signature by the person issuing the Notice of Garnishment. This bill had an emergency clause and became effective upon passage.

The notices are being received subsequent to individual tax returns being e-filed and payments being mailed on or close to the same date. Unfortunately, the notice is sent automatically through our system once the e-filed return is processed without allowing time for the payment to be matched and applied to the account. If your client has received a Notice of Tax Assessment after a payment has been submitted there are a couple of options. 1) If the payment has cleared the bank, the client can disregard the notice or 2) The client (or the representative (with the client's permission) can sign up for an online account to check the balance of the Oregon tax account. If the payment has been received, the account balance should reflect the payment.
