•
and correct as to every material matter.
Removes, conceals, or releases or aids in the removal, concealment, or release
•
of any property on which levy is authorized by TRD.
Upon conviction, criminal penalty may be imposed of not more than $5,000 or
imprisonment of not less than six months or more than three years, or both,
together with costs of prosecution.
Error-Free Processing
A fully completed, accurately computed, legible return is processed the fastest.
Returns with errors require manual review and may delay refunds. A refund from
an error-free electronically filed return is issued within four weeks of receipt by
TRD. When the return information requires manual review refunds for
electronically-filed returns may be delayed for as long as four to six weeks.
Refunds for paper returns may be delayed for as long as six weeks, and twelve
weeks during April and May.
Generally, delays occur because return information is incomplete, incorrect, or does
not match information in our records. It is important to follow the directions for the
return, complete all required fields, check your figures, and make sure the return is
legible.
Reasons for delays and other common errors:
•
An incorrect mailing address. Taxpayer’s address on the return must be correct
and current.
•
Incorrect or missing SSN or ITIN. A missing SSN or ITIN will cause the return to
•
be returned to the taxpayer without processing.
An incorrect date format for the dependent’s date of birth. The correct format is
•
MM/DD/CCYY.
Missing dependent’s SSN or date of birth.
•
•
An incomplete return.
Attaching a worksheet instead of completing the correct schedule or form.
•
Incorrectly claiming an exemption, deduction, or credit.
Claiming a rebate or credits on Schedule PIT-RC, but not answering the
•
qualifying questions required in Section I.
•
Missing attachments and supporting documents. When you submit a paper
income tax return, you must also attach your W-2s and other supporting
documentation required by instruction. (Note: the income and withholding
information is not included within the 2D barcode.)
