What changes are being planned with respect to ITS notices and processes? When can we expect to see these changes?
What matters does the Department expect to address through the regulatory process in the near future? What is the status of these projects?
What issues of tax administration, procedure or technical corrections would the Department like to see addressed legislatively? What role could the PICPA play in this effort?
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.
We understand there is a large backlog of cases at the Board of Appeals. Does the DOR have a plan for alleviating the backlog and moving cases through more speedily?
Scenario: In 2008, GHI Corp., a DE corp., acquired all stock of JKL Corp. In 2009, JKL Corp. is merged into GHI Corp. JKL Corp. never obtained a corporate clearance.

Please explain the mandatory e-filing requirement.
How does the Department envision its role in appeals to the revamped Board of Finance & Revenue (BF&R)?
