Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter to the contrary, research and development expenditures in this state, including salary or wage expenses for jobs related to research and development activities in this state, may be used as the basis for the excelsior research and development tax credit component and the qualified emerging technology company facilities, operations and training credit under the tax law. § 4.

SUCH AN ACTION MAY ONLY BE CHALLENGED BEFORE THE DEPARTMENT OF TAXATION AND FINANCE. IF A TAXPAYER IS DISSATISFIED WITH THE DEPARTMENT'S FINAL DETERMINATION, THE TAXPAYER MAY APPEAL THAT DETERMINATION TO THE STATE BOARD OF REAL PROPERTY TAX SERVICES IN A FORM AND MANNER TO BE PRESCRIBED BY THE COMMISSIONER. SUCH APPEAL SHALL BE FILED WITHIN FORTY-FIVE DAYS FROM THE ISSUANCE OF THE DEPARTMENT'S FINAL DETERMINATION. IF DISSATISFIED WITH THE STATE BOARD OF REAL PROPERTY TAX SERVICES' DETERMINATION, THE TAXPAYER MAY SEEK JUDICIAL REVIEW THEREOF PURSUANT TO ARTICLE SEVENTY-EIGHT OF THE CIVIL PRACTICE LAW AND RULES.

The department shall make such forms and instructions available for the filing of such state- ments. The local assessor shall upon the request of a taxpayer assist such taxpayer in the filing of the statement with the department. [Provided further, that if the qualified taxpayer was an owner of the property during the taxable year but did not own it on December thirty- first of the taxable year, then the determination as to whether the income of an individual should be included in "affiliated income" shall be based upon the ownership and/or residency status of that individual as of the first day of the month during which the qualified taxpayer ceased to be an owner of the property, rather than as of December thir- ty-first of the taxable year.] (III) NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBPARAGRAPH, WHERE PROPERTY IS OWNED SOLELY BY A PERSON OR PERSONS WHO RECEIVED THE CREDIT FOR THREE CONSECUTIVE YEARS WITHOUT HAVING FILED RETURNS FOR THE APPLICABLE INCOME TAX YEARS, BUT WHO DEMONSTRATED THEIR ELIGIBILITY FOR THE CREDIT TO THE COMMISSIONER'S SATISFACTION BY FILING STATEMENTS PURSUANT TO CLAUSE (II) OF THIS SUBPARAGRAPH, SUCH PERSON OR PERSONS SHALL BE PRESUMED TO SATISFY THE APPLICABLE INCOME-ELIGIBILITY REQUIRE- MENTS EACH YEAR THEREAFTER AND SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED TO CONTINUE TO FILE SUCH STATEMENTS IN THE ABSENCE OF A SPECIFIC REQUEST THEREFOR FROM THE COMMISSIONER.

IN A SEMICONDUCTOR SUPPLY CHAIN PROJECT, THE CREDIT SHALL BE UP TO THREE PERCENT OF THE COST OR OTHER BASIS FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES OF THE QUALIFIED INVESTMENT. A participant may not claim both the excelsior investment tax credit component and the investment tax credit set forth in subdivision one of section two hundred ten-B, subsection (a) of section six hundred six, the former subsection (i) of section fourteen hundred fifty-six, or subdivision (q) of section fifteen hundred eleven of the tax law for the same property in any taxable year, except that a participant may claim both the excelsior investment tax credit component and the investment tax credit for research and development property.

Expenses incurred prior to the date the certificate of eligibility is issued are not eligible to be included in the calculation of the credit. 3.

A partic- ipant in the excelsior jobs program shall be eligible to claim a credit equal to fifty percent of the portion of the participant's federal research and development tax credit that relates to the participant's research and development expenditures in New York state during the taxa- ble year; provided however, if not a green project, the excelsior research and development tax credit shall not exceed six percent of the qualified research and development expenditures attributable to activ- ities conducted in New York state, or, if a green project or a Green CHIPS project, the excelsior research and development tax credit shall not exceed eight percent of the research and development expenditures attributable to activities conducted in New York state, OR IF A SEMICON- DUCTOR SUPPLY CHAIN PROJECT, THE EXCELSIOR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT TAX CREDIT SHALL NOT EXCEED SEVEN PERCENT OF THE QUALIFIED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURES ATTRIBUTABLE TO ACTIVITIES CONDUCTED IN NEW YORK STATE.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter to the contrary, research and development expenditures in this state, including salary or wage expenses for jobs related to research and development activities in this state, may be used as the basis for the excelsior research and development tax credit component and the qualified emerging technology company facilities, operations and training credit under the tax law. § 4.

(II) For taxable years beginning on and after January first, two thou- sand nineteen, where an income-eligibility determination is wholly or partly based upon the income of one or more individuals who did not file a return pursuant to section six hundred fifty-one of this article for the applicable income tax year, then in order to be eligible for the credit authorized by this subsection, each such individual must file a statement with the department showing the source or sources of [his or her] SUCH INDIVIDUAL'S income for that income tax year, and the amount or amounts thereof, that would have been reported on such a return if one had been filed. Such statement shall be filed at such time, and in such form and manner, as may be prescribed by the department, and shall be subject to the provisions of section six hundred ninety-seven of this article to the same extent that a return would be. The department shall make such forms and instructions available for the filing of such state- ments. The local assessor shall upon the request of a taxpayer assist such taxpayer in the filing of the statement with the department. [Provided further, that if the qualified taxpayer was an owner of the property during the taxable year but did not own it on December thirty- first of the taxable year, then the determination as to whether the income of an individual should be included in "affiliated income" shall be based upon the ownership and/or residency status of that individual as of the first day of the month during which the qualified taxpayer ceased to be an owner of the property, rather than as of December thir- ty-first of the taxable year.] (III) NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBPARAGRAPH, WHERE PROPERTY IS OWNED SOLELY BY A PERSON OR PERSONS WHO RECEIVED THE CREDIT FOR THREE CONSECUTIVE YEARS WITHOUT HAVING FILED RETURNS FOR THE APPLICABLE INCOME TAX YEARS, BUT WHO DEMONSTRATED THEIR ELIGIBILITY FOR THE CREDIT TO THE COMMISSIONER'S SATISFACTION BY FILING STATEMENTS PURSUANT TO CLAUSE (II) OF THIS SUBPARAGRAPH, SUCH PERSON OR PERSONS SHALL BE PRESUMED TO SATISFY THE APPLICABLE INCOME-ELIGIBILITY REQUIRE- MENTS EACH YEAR THEREAFTER AND SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED TO CONTINUE TO FILE SUCH STATEMENTS IN THE ABSENCE OF A SPECIFIC REQUEST THEREFOR FROM THE COMMISSIONER.

S. 3009--A 90 A. 3009--A § 5. Subsection (e) of section 681 of the tax law, as amended by chap- ter 381 of the laws of 1975, paragraph 1 as amended by chapter 28 of the laws of 1987, is amended as follows: (e) Exceptions where federal changes, corrections or disallowances are not reported.--- (1) If the taxpayer or employer fails to comply with section six hundred fifty-nine OR SECTION SIX HUNDRED FIFTY-NINE-A, instead of the mode and time of assessment provided for in subsection (b) of this section, the [tax commission] COMMISSIONER may assess a deficiency based upon such federal change, correction or disallowance by mailing to the taxpayer a notice of additional tax due specifying the amount of the deficiency, and such deficiency, together with the interest, additions to tax and penalties stated in such notice, shall be deemed assessed on the date such notice is mailed unless within thirty days after the mail- ing of such notice a report of the federal change, correction or disal- lowance or an amended return, where such return was required by section six hundred fifty-nine OR SECTION SIX HUNDRED FIFTY-NINE-A, is filed accompanied by a statement showing wherein such federal determination and such notice of additional tax due are erroneous. (2) Such notice shall not be considered as a notice of deficiency for the purposes of this section, subsection (f) of section six hundred eighty-seven (limiting credits or refunds after petition to the [tax commission] DIVISION OF TAX APPEALS), or subsection (b) of section six hundred eighty-nine (authorizing the filing of a petition with the [tax commission] DIVISION OF TAX APPEALS based on a notice of deficiency), nor shall such assessment or the collection thereof be prohibited by the provisions of subsection (c). (3) If [a husband and wife] SPOUSES are jointly liable for tax, a notice of additional tax due may be a single joint notice, except that if the [tax commission] COMMISSIONER has been notified by either spouse that separate residences have been established, then, in lieu of the joint notice, a duplicate original of the joint notice shall be mailed to each spouse at [his or her] THEIR last known address in or out of this state. If the taxpayer is deceased or under a legal disability, a notice of additional tax due may be mailed to [his] THEIR last known address in or out of this state, unless the [tax commission] COMMISSION- ER has received notice of the existence of a fiduciary relationship with respect to the taxpayer. § 6. Subsection (a) of section 682 of the tax law, as amended by section 3 of part F of chapter 60 of the laws of 2004, is amended to read as follows: (a) Assessment date.--The amount of tax which a return shows to be due, or the amount of tax which a return would have shown to be due but for a mathematical or clerical error, shall be deemed to be assessed on the date of filing of the return (including any amended return showing an increase of tax). In the case of a return properly filed without computation of tax, the tax computed by the commissioner shall be deemed to be assessed on the date on which payment is due. If a notice of defi- ciency has been mailed, the amount of the deficiency shall be deemed to be assessed on the date specified in subsection (b) of section six hundred eighty-one if no petition to the division of tax appeals is filed, or if a petition is filed, then upon the date when a determi- nation or decision rendered in the division of tax appeals establishing the amount of the deficiency becomes final. If an amended return or report filed pursuant to section six hundred fifty-nine OR SIX HUNDRED FIFTY-NINE-A concedes the accuracy of a federal change or correction, S. 3009--A 91 A. 3009--A any deficiency in tax under this article resulting therefrom shall be deemed to be assessed on the date of filing such report or amended return, and such assessment shall be timely notwithstanding section six hundred eighty-three. If a notice of additional tax due, as prescribed in subsection (e) of section six hundred eighty-one, has been mailed, the amount of the deficiency shall be deemed to be assessed on the date specified in such subsection unless within thirty days after the mailing of such notice a report of the federal change or correction or an amended return, where such return was required by section six hundred fifty-nine OR SIX HUNDRED FIFTY-NINE-A, is filed accompanied by a state- ment showing wherein such federal determination and such notice of addi- tional tax due are erroneous. Any amount paid as a tax or in respect of a tax, other than amounts withheld at the source or paid as estimated income tax, shall be deemed to be assessed upon the date of receipt of payment, notwithstanding any other provisions. § 7. Paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 of subsection (c) of section 683 of the tax law, as added by chapter 1011 of 1962, paragraph 1 as amended by chapter 526 of the laws of 1973, subparagraph (C) of paragraph 1 and paragraph 3 as amended by chapter 28 of the laws of 1987, are amended as follows: (1) Assessment at any time.--The tax may be assessed at any time if-- (A) no return is filed, (B) a false or fraudulent return is filed with intent to evade tax, or (C) the taxpayer or employer fails to comply with section six hundred fifty-nine OR SIX HUNDRED FIFTY-NINE-A. (2) Extension by agreement.--Where, before the expiration of the time prescribed in this section for the assessment of tax, both the [tax commission] COMMISSIONER and the taxpayer have consented in writing to its assessment after such time, the tax may be assessed at any time prior to the expiration of the period agreed upon. The period so agreed upon may be extended by subsequent agreements in writing made before the expiration of the period previously agreed upon. (3) Report of federal changes, corrections or disallowances.--If the taxpayer or employer complies with section six hundred fifty-nine OR SIX HUNDRED FIFTY-NINE-A, the assessment (if not deemed to have been made upon the filing of the report or amended return) may be made at any time within two years after such report or amended return was filed. The amount of such assessment of tax shall not exceed the amount of the increase in New York tax attributable to such federal change or correction. The provisions of this paragraph shall not affect the time within which or the amount for which an assessment may otherwise be made. § 8. Paragraph 2 of subsection (h) of section 685 of the tax law, as amended by section 5 of part I of chapter 59 of the laws of 2014, is amended as follows: (2) If any partnership, S corporation, or trust required to file a return or report under subsection (c) or subsection (f) of section six hundred fifty-eight or under section six hundred fifty-nine OR SIX HUNDRED FIFTY-NINE-A of this article for any taxable year fails to file such return or report at the time prescribed therefor (determined with regard to any extension of time for filing), or files a return or report which fails to show the information required under such subsection (c) [or] OF section six hundred fifty-nine of this article, OR FILES A RETURN OR REPORT WHICH FAILS TO SHOW THE INFORMATION REQUIRED UNDER SUBSECTION (D) OF SECTION SIX HUNDRED FIFTY-NINE-A OF THIS ARTICLE, unless it is shown that such failure is due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect, there shall, upon notice and demand by the S. 3009--A 92 A. 3009--A commissioner and in the same manner as tax, be paid by the partnership or S corporation a penalty for each month (or fraction thereof) during which such failure continues (but not to exceed five months). The amount of such penalty for any month is the product of fifty dollars, multi- plied by the number of partners in the partnership or shareholders in the S corporation during any part of the taxable year who were subject to tax under this article during any part of such taxable year, except that, in the case of a trust, the penalty shall be equal to one hundred fifty dollars a month up to a maximum of fifteen hundred dollars per taxable year. § 9. Subsection (c) of section 687 of the tax law, as amended by chap- ter 61 of the laws of 1989, is amended to read as follows: (c) Notice of federal change or correction.--A claim for credit or refund of any overpayment of tax attributable to a federal change or correction required to be reported pursuant to section six hundred fifty-nine OR BY A PARTNER OF A PARTNERSHIP REQUIRED TO REPORT A FEDERAL CHANGE OR CORRECTION PURSUANT TO SECTION SIX HUNDRED FIFTY-NINE-A shall be filed by the taxpayer within two years from the time the notice of such change or correction or such amended return was required to be filed with the commissioner of taxation and finance. If the report or amended return required by section six hundred fifty-nine OR SIX HUNDRED FIFTY-NINE-A is not filed within the ninety day period therein speci- fied, no interest shall be payable on any claim for credit or refund of the overpayment attributable to the federal change or correction. The amount of such credit or refund shall not exceed the amount of the reduction in tax attributable to such federal change, correction or items amended on the taxpayer's amended federal income tax return. This subsection shall not affect the time within which or the amount for which a claim for credit or refund may be filed apart from this subsection. § 10. Subsection (g) of section 688 of the tax law, as amended by chapter 61 of the laws of 1989, is amended to read as follows: (g) Cross-reference.--For provision with respect to interest after failure to file notice of federal change under section six hundred fifty-nine OR SIX HUNDRED FIFTY-NINE-A, see subsection (c) of section six hundred eighty-seven. § 11.

All of the provisions of article twenty-two of this chap- ter relating to or applicable to payment of estimated tax, returns, payment of tax, claim of right adjustment, withholding of tax from wages, employer's statements and returns, employer's liability for taxes required to be withheld and all other provisions of article twenty-two of this chapter relating to or applicable to the administration, collection, liability for and review of the tax imposed by article twen- ty-two of this chapter, including sections six hundred fifty-two through six hundred fifty-four, sections six hundred fifty-seven through [six hundred fifty-nine] SIX HUNDRED FIFTY-NINE-A, sections six hundred sixty-one and six hundred sixty-two, sections six hundred seventy-one and six hundred seventy-two, sections six hundred seventy-four through six hundred seventy-eight and sections six hundred eighty-one through S. 3009--A 93 A. 3009--A six hundred ninety-seven of this chapter, inclusive, shall apply to a tax imposed pursuant to the authority of this article with the same force and effect as if those provisions had been incorporated in full into this article, and had expressly referred to the tax imposed pursu- ant to the authority of this article, except where inconsistent with a provision of this article. Whenever there is joint collection of state and city personal income taxes, it shall be deemed that such collections shall represent proportionately the applicable state and city personal income taxes in determining the amount to be remitted to the city. § 12. Paragraph 1 of subdivision (e) of section 1515 of the tax law, as amended by chapter 770 of the laws of 1992, is amended to read as follows: (1) If the amount of the life insurance company taxable income (which shall include, in the case of a stock life insurance company which has an existing policyholders surplus account, the amount of direct and indirect distributions during the taxable year to shareholders from such account), taxable income of a partnership or taxable income, as the case may be, or alternative minimum taxable income for any year of any taxpayer as returned to the United States treasury department is changed or corrected by the commissioner of internal revenue or other officer of the United States or other competent authority, such taxpayer shall report such change or corrected taxable income or alternative minimum taxable income within ninety days (or one hundred twenty days, in the case of a taxpayer making a combined return under this article for such year) after the final determination of such change or correction or as required by the commissioner, and shall concede the accuracy of such determination or state wherein it is erroneous. PROVIDED, HOWEVER, IF THE TAXPAYER IS A DIRECT OR INDIRECT PARTNER OF A PARTNERSHIP REQUIRED TO REPORT ADJUSTMENTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION SIX HUNDRED FIFTY-NINE-A OF THIS CHAPTER, SUCH TAXPAYER SHALL ALSO REPORT SUCH ADJUSTMENTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION SIX HUNDRED FIFTY-NINE-A OF THIS CHAPTER WHEN SUCH ADJUSTMENTS RESULT IN AN OVERPAYMENT. Any taxpayer filing an amended return with such department shall also file within ninety days (or one hundred twenty days, in the case of a taxpayer making a combined return under this article for such year) thereafter an amended return with the commissioner which shall contain such informa- tion as the commissioner shall require. The allowance of a tentative carryback adjustment based upon a net operating loss carryback or net capital loss carryback pursuant to section sixty-four hundred eleven of the internal revenue code or upon an operations loss carryback pursuant to section eight hundred ten of the internal revenue code, shall be treated as a final determination for purposes of this subdivision. § 13.

Subdivision 3 of section 442-h of the real property law, as amended by chapter 505 of the laws of 2001, is amended to read as follows: 3. (a) If the secretary of state determines that some owners of resi- dential real property within a defined geographic area are subject to intense and repeated solicitation by real estate brokers and salesper- sons to place their property for sale with such real estate brokers or salespersons, or are subject to intense and repeated solicitation by other persons regularly engaged in the trade or business of buying and selling real estate to sell their real estate, the secretary of state may adopt a rule establishing a cease and desist zone, which zone shall be bounded or otherwise specifically defined in the rule. After the secretary of state has established a cease and desist zone, the owners of residential real property located within the zone may file an owner's statement with the secretary of state expressing their wish [not] to OPT-OUT OF THE CEASE AND DESIST AND be solicited by real estate brokers, salespersons or other persons regularly engaged in the trade or business of buying and selling real estate. The form and content of the statement shall be prescribed by the secretary of state. After a cease and desist zone has been established by the secretary of state, no real estate broker, salesperson or other person regularly engaged in the trade or business of buying and selling real estate shall solicit a listing from any owner OF RESIDENTIAL REAL PROPERTY LOCATED IN THE ZONE, OTHER THAN AN OWNER who has filed a statement with the secretary of state [if such owner's name] AND appears on the current cease and desist OPT-OUT list prepared by the secretary of state. The prohibition on solicitation shall apply to direct forms of solicitation such as the use of the tele- phone, the mail, personal contact and other forms of direct solicitation as may be specified by the secretary of state. (b) The secretary of state shall compile a cease and desist OPT-OUT list for each zone established pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subdi- vision. In addition to such other information as the secretary of state may deem appropriate, each cease and desist OPT-OUT list shall contain the name of each owner who has filed an owner's statement with the secretary, as well as the address of the property within the zone to which the owner's statement applies. The secretary of state shall send to each owner who has filed an owner's statement a written acknowledge- ment of the secretary of state's receipt thereof and a pamphlet explain- ing to the owner [his or her] THEIR rights in connection therewith [and the procedures and time limits applicable to the filing of complaints for violations]. The secretary of state shall allow [an] ANY owner who files, or on behalf of whom is filed, a complaint or other report of a violation of a cease and desist rule ninety days in which to perfect a complaint by submitting such other or further information or documents as the secretary of state may require. The secretary of state shall print [a] AN OPT-OUT list for each zone. Each OPT-OUT list shall be revised and reprinted at least annually on or before December thirty- first and shall be made available to the public and to real estate brokers at a reasonable price to be set by the secretary of state and approved by the director of the division of the budget. Additions or deletions shall be made to each OPT-OUT list only at the time the OPT- OUT list is reprinted, and the secretary of state shall not issue amend- ments or addenda to any printed OPT-OUT list.

However, an owner may file a new statement with the secre- tary of state if a new rule is adopted establishing a cease and desist zone containing the owner's property. Once the boundaries of a cease and desist zone have been established by rule of the secretary of state, the boundaries may not be changed except by repeal of the existing rule and adoption of a new rule establishing the new boundaries. § 2. This act shall take effect on the one hundred twentieth day after it shall have become a law. Effective immediately, the addition, amend- ment and/or repeal of any rule or regulation necessary for the implemen- tation of this act on its effective date are authorized to be made and completed on or before such effective date. § 2. Severability clause. If any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivi- sion, section or part of this act shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect, impair, or invalidate the remainder thereof, but shall be confined in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, section or part thereof directly involved in the controversy in which such judg- ment shall have been rendered.

A credit may not be claimed until a business enter- prise has received a certificate of tax credit, provided that qualified investments made on or after the issuance of the certificate of eligi- bility but before the issuance of the certificate of tax credit to the business enterprise, may be claimed in the first taxable year for which the business enterprise is allowed to claim the credit.

If the federal research and development credit has expired, then the research and development expenditures relating to the federal research and development credit shall be calculated as if the federal research and development credit structure and definition in effect in two thousand nine were still in effect. Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter to the contrary, research and development expenditures in this state, including salary or wage expenses for jobs related to research and development activities in this state, may be used as the basis for the excelsior research and development tax credit component and the qualified emerging technology company facilities, operations and training credit under the tax law. § 5.

(B) IF THE COMMISSIONER SHOULD DETERMINE THAT A PARCEL THAT HAS A BASIC STAR EXEMPTION IS ELIGIBLE FOR AN ENHANCED STAR EXEMPTION, THE COMMISSIONER SHALL SO NOTIFY THE ASSESSOR. THE ASSESSOR SHALL THEREUPON GRANT THE PARCEL AN ENHANCED STAR EXEMPTION WITHOUT REQUESTING A NEW APPLICATION FROM THE OWNER. (C) IF THE COMMISSIONER DETERMINES THAT PROPERTY IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR A STAR EXEMPTION IT HAS BEEN RECEIVING, THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBDIVISION SHALL BE APPLICABLE. (I) THE COMMISSIONER SHALL PROVIDE THE PROPERTY OWNERS WITH NOTICE AND AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW THE COMMISSIONER THAT THE PROPERTY IS ELIGIBLE TO A. 3009--B 73 RECEIVE THE EXEMPTION. IF THE OWNERS FAIL TO RESPOND TO SUCH NOTICE WITHIN FORTY-FIVE DAYS FROM THE MAILING THEREOF, OR IF THEIR RESPONSE DOES NOT SHOW TO THE COMMISSIONER'S SATISFACTION THAT THE PROPERTY IS ELIGIBLE FOR THE EXEMPTION, THE COMMISSIONER SHALL DIRECT THE ASSESSOR OR OTHER PERSON HAVING CUSTODY OR CONTROL OF THE ASSESSMENT ROLL OR TAX ROLL TO REMOVE OR DENY THE EXEMPTION, AND TO CORRECT THE ROLL ACCORDING- LY. SUCH A DIRECTIVE SHALL BE BINDING UPON THE ASSESSOR OR OTHER PERSON HAVING CUSTODY OR CONTROL OF THE ASSESSMENT ROLL OR TAX ROLL, AND SHALL BE IMPLEMENTED BY SUCH PERSON WITHOUT THE NEED FOR FURTHER DOCUMENTATION OR APPROVAL. (II) NEITHER AN ASSESSOR NOR A BOARD OF ASSESSMENT REVIEW HAS THE AUTHORITY TO CONSIDER AN OBJECTION TO THE REMOVAL OR DENIAL OF AN EXEMPTION PURSUANT TO THIS SUBDIVISION, NOR MAY SUCH AN ACTION BE REVIEWED IN A PROCEEDING TO REVIEW AN ASSESSMENT PURSUANT TO TITLE ONE OR ONE-A OF ARTICLE SEVEN OF THIS CHAPTER. SUCH AN ACTION MAY ONLY BE CHALLENGED BEFORE THE DEPARTMENT OF TAXATION AND FINANCE. IF A TAXPAYER IS DISSATISFIED WITH THE DEPARTMENT'S FINAL DETERMINATION, THE TAXPAYER MAY APPEAL THAT DETERMINATION TO THE STATE BOARD OF REAL PROPERTY TAX SERVICES IN A FORM AND MANNER TO BE PRESCRIBED BY THE COMMISSIONER. SUCH APPEAL SHALL BE FILED WITHIN FORTY-FIVE DAYS FROM THE ISSUANCE OF THE DEPARTMENT'S FINAL DETERMINATION. IF DISSATISFIED WITH THE STATE BOARD OF REAL PROPERTY TAX SERVICES' DETERMINATION, THE TAXPAYER MAY SEEK JUDICIAL REVIEW THEREOF PURSUANT TO ARTICLE SEVENTY-EIGHT OF THE CIVIL PRACTICE LAW AND RULES.

The department shall make such forms and instructions available for the filing of such state- ments. The local assessor shall upon the request of a taxpayer assist such taxpayer in the filing of the statement with the department. [Provided further, that if the qualified taxpayer was an owner of the property during the taxable year but did not own it on December thirty- first of the taxable year, then the determination as to whether the income of an individual should be included in "affiliated income" shall be based upon the ownership and/or residency status of that individual as of the first day of the month during which the qualified taxpayer ceased to be an owner of the property, rather than as of December thir- ty-first of the taxable year.] (III) NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBPARAGRAPH, WHERE PROPERTY IS OWNED SOLELY BY A PERSON OR PERSONS WHO RECEIVED THE CREDIT FOR THREE CONSECUTIVE YEARS WITHOUT HAVING FILED RETURNS FOR THE APPLICABLE INCOME TAX YEARS, BUT WHO DEMONSTRATED THEIR ELIGIBILITY FOR THE CREDIT TO THE COMMISSIONER'S SATISFACTION BY FILING STATEMENTS PURSUANT TO CLAUSE (II) OF THIS SUBPARAGRAPH, SUCH PERSON OR PERSONS SHALL BE PRESUMED TO SATISFY THE APPLICABLE INCOME-ELIGIBILITY REQUIRE- MENTS EACH YEAR THEREAFTER AND SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED TO CONTINUE TO FILE SUCH STATEMENTS IN THE ABSENCE OF A SPECIFIC REQUEST THEREFOR FROM THE COMMISSIONER.

(2) Such notice shall not be considered as a notice of deficiency for the purposes of this section, subsection (f) of section six hundred eighty-seven (limiting credits or refunds after petition to the [tax commission] DIVISION OF TAX APPEALS), or subsection (b) of section six hundred eighty-nine (authorizing the filing of a petition with the [tax commission] DIVISION OF TAX APPEALS based on a notice of deficiency), nor shall such assessment or the collection thereof be prohibited by the provisions of subsection (c). (3) If [a husband and wife] SPOUSES are jointly liable for tax, a notice of additional tax due may be a single joint notice, except that if the [tax commission] COMMISSIONER has been notified by either spouse that separate residences have been established, then, in lieu of the joint notice, a duplicate original of the joint notice shall be mailed to each spouse at [his or her] THEIR last known address in or out of this state. If the taxpayer is deceased or under a legal disability, a notice of additional tax due may be mailed to [his] THEIR last known address in or out of this state, unless the [tax commission] COMMISSION- ER has received notice of the existence of a fiduciary relationship with respect to the taxpayer. § 6.

In the case of a return properly filed without computation of tax, the tax computed by the commissioner shall be deemed to be assessed on the date on which payment is due. If a notice of defi- ciency has been mailed, the amount of the deficiency shall be deemed to be assessed on the date specified in subsection (b) of section six hundred eighty-one if no petition to the division of tax appeals is filed, or if a petition is filed, then upon the date when a determi- nation or decision rendered in the division of tax appeals establishing the amount of the deficiency becomes final. If an amended return or report filed pursuant to section six hundred fifty-nine OR SIX HUNDRED FIFTY-NINE-A concedes the accuracy of a federal change or correction, any deficiency in tax under this article resulting therefrom shall be deemed to be assessed on the date of filing such report or amended return, and such assessment shall be timely notwithstanding section six hundred eighty-three. If a notice of additional tax due, as prescribed in subsection (e) of section six hundred eighty-one, has been mailed, the amount of the deficiency shall be deemed to be assessed on the date specified in such subsection unless within thirty days after the mailing of such notice a report of the federal change or correction or an amended return, where such return was required by section six hundred fifty-nine OR SIX HUNDRED FIFTY-NINE-A, is filed accompanied by a state- ment showing wherein such federal determination and such notice of addi- tional tax due are erroneous. Any amount paid as a tax or in respect of a tax, other than amounts withheld at the source or paid as estimated income tax, shall be deemed to be assessed upon the date of receipt of payment, notwithstanding any other provisions. § 7. Paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 of subsection (c) of section 683 of the tax law, paragraph 1 as amended by chapter 526 of the laws of 1973, subpara- graph (C) of paragraph 1 and paragraph 3 as amended by chapter 28 of the laws of 1987, and paragraph 2 as added by chapter 1011 of 1962, are amended to read as follows: (1) Assessment at any time.--The tax may be assessed at any time if-- (A) no return is filed, (B) a false or fraudulent return is filed with intent to evade tax, or (C) the taxpayer or employer fails to comply with section six hundred fifty-nine OR SIX HUNDRED FIFTY-NINE-A. (2) Extension by agreement.--Where, before the expiration of the time prescribed in this section for the assessment of tax, both the [tax commission] COMMISSIONER and the taxpayer have consented in writing to its assessment after such time, the tax may be assessed at any time prior to the expiration of the period agreed upon. The period so agreed upon may be extended by subsequent agreements in writing made before the expiration of the period previously agreed upon. (3) Report of federal changes, corrections or disallowances.--If the taxpayer or employer complies with section six hundred fifty-nine OR SIX HUNDRED FIFTY-NINE-A, the assessment (if not deemed to have been made upon the filing of the report or amended return) may be made at any time within two years after such report or amended return was filed. The amount of such assessment of tax shall not exceed the amount of the increase in New York tax attributable to such federal change or correction. The provisions of this paragraph shall not affect the time A. 3009--B 86 within which or the amount for which an assessment may otherwise be made. § 8.

The amount of such penalty for any month is the product of fifty dollars, multi- plied by the number of partners in the partnership or shareholders in the S corporation during any part of the taxable year who were subject to tax under this article during any part of such taxable year, except that, in the case of a trust, the penalty shall be equal to one hundred fifty dollars a month up to a maximum of fifteen hundred dollars per taxable year. § 9.

If the report or amended return required by section six hundred fifty-nine OR SIX HUNDRED FIFTY-NINE-A is not filed within the ninety day period therein speci- fied, no interest shall be payable on any claim for credit or refund of the overpayment attributable to the federal change or correction. The amount of such credit or refund shall not exceed the amount of the reduction in tax attributable to such federal change, correction or items amended on the taxpayer's amended federal income tax return. This subsection shall not affect the time within which or the amount for which a claim for credit or refund may be filed apart from this subsection. § 10.

On or before June twelfth, nineteen hundred ninety-five and on or before the twelfth day of each month thereafter (excepting the first and second months of each fiscal year), the comptroller shall deposit into such fund from the taxes, interest and penalties collected pursuant to such section fourteen hundred two of this article which have been depos- ited and remain to the comptroller's credit in the banks, banking houses or trust companies referred to in section one hundred seventy-one-a of this chapter at the close of business on the last day of the preceding month, an amount equal to one-tenth of the annual amount required to be deposited in such fund pursuant to this section for the fiscal year in which such deposit is required to be made. In the event such amount of taxes, interest and penalties so remaining to the comptroller's credit A. 3009--B 136 is less than the amount required to be deposited in such fund by the comptroller, an amount equal to the shortfall shall be deposited in such fund by the comptroller with subsequent deposits, as soon as the revenue is available. Beginning April first, nineteen hundred ninety-seven, the comptroller shall transfer monthly to the clean water/clean air fund established pursuant to section ninety-seven-bbb of the state finance law, all moneys remaining from such taxes, interest and penalties collected that are not required for deposit in the environmental protection fund. § 2. This act shall take effect immediately. § 2. Severability clause. If any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivi- sion, section or part of this act shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect, impair, or invalidate the remainder thereof, but shall be confined in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, section or part thereof directly involved in the controversy in which such judg- ment shall have been rendered. It is hereby declared to be the intent of the legislature that this act would have been enacted even if such invalid provisions had not been included herein. § 3. This act shall take effect immediately provided, however, that the applicable effective date of Parts A through YY of this act shall be as specifically set forth in the last section of such Parts.
