What’s in it

AI summary People who must file sales and use tax returns electronically will no longer have their returns counted as filed if they use the wrong format. If a taxpayer cannot use the required electronic method, they can ask the director of the Department of Revenue for permission to file in a different way. The department also has the power to create new rules for how these filings are handled.1
