(b) Requesting verbally or in writing that the department email or fax a return form to the owner or an authorized representative on a one-time basis; or
(c) Picking up a return form in person from a department office.
(4) Return forms that are mailed or otherwise delivered by an alternative method shall serve as a notice to the owner of the owner’s requirement to file a return.
(5) The department shall document by tax program and reporting period:
(a) Which taxpayers were sent timber tax returns; and
(b) Receipt of tax returns filed.
(6) Taxpayers who fail to file a timber tax return will be mailed a Notice of Failure to File which shall include:
(a) The timber tax program(s) for which taxpayer has failed to file;
(b) A statement that the tax return is due even if no harvest occurred; and
(c) An explanation of delinquent return penalties.
