Has the Department considered including a longer look back period on the e-SOA for sales and employer taxes?
Is the department considering making “What’s my Revenue ID?” a function on its website?
Is there a 30-day grace period if someone resubmits a completed RCT-101 after finding out that the original form was incomplete?
What is the DOR's criteria for appealing to Commonwealth Court an Order of the Board of Finance and Revenue, and who within the Department (including its Office of Chief Counsel) must approve such Appeals?

What matters does the Department expect to address through the regulatory process in the near future? What is the status of these projects?

Will the DOR continue to issue the standard corporate tax notices that it has been issuing (e.g., notice of adjustment, billing notice, assessment, etc.) or does it plan on making changes to the notices it has typically issued?
Scenario: A business return is not marked with an extension “Y” box and there was a federal extension filed, but PA system seems to automatically send out a Notice of Assessment for penalties.
