             2083           59-10-529. Overpayment of tax -- Credits -- Refunds.
             2084          (1) In cases where there has been an overpayment of any tax imposed by this chapter,
             2085      the amount of overpayment is credited as follows:
             2086          (a) against any income tax then due from the taxpayer;
             2087          (b) against:
             2088          (i) the amount of any judgment against the taxpayer, including one ordering the
             2089      payment of a fine or of restitution to a victim under Title 77, Chapter 38a, Crime Victims
             2090      Restitution Act, obtained through due process of law by any entity of state government; or
             2091          (ii) any child support obligation which is due or past due, as determined by the Office
             2092      of Recovery Services in the Department of Human Services and after notice and an opportunity
             2093      for an adjudicative proceeding, as provided in Subsection (2); or
             2094          (c) as bail, to ensure the appearance of the taxpayer before the appropriate authority to
             2095      resolve an outstanding warrant against the taxpayer for which bail is due, if a court of
             2096      competent jurisdiction has not approved an alternative form of payment. This bail may be
             2097      applied to any fine or forfeiture which is due and related to a warrant which is outstanding on
             2098      or after February 16, 1984, and in accordance with Subsections (3) and (4).
             2099          (2) (a) Subsection (1)(b)(ii) may be exercised only if the Office of Recovery Services
             2100      has sent written notice to the taxpayer's last-known address or the address on file under Section
             2101      62A-11-304.4 , stating:
             2102          (i) the amount of child support that is due or past due as of the date of the notice or

- 69 -
             2103
     other specified date;
             2104          (ii) that any overpayment shall be applied to reduce the amount of due or past-due child
             2105      support specified in the notice; and
             2106          (iii) that the taxpayer may contest the amount of past-due child support specified in the
             2107      notice by filing a written request for an adjudicative proceeding with the office within 15 days
             2108      of the notice being sent.
             2109          (b) The Office of Recovery Services shall establish rules to implement this Subsection
             2110      (2), including procedures, in accordance with the other provisions of this section, to ensure
             2111      prompt reimbursement to the taxpayer of any amount of an overpayment of taxes which was
             2112      credited against a child support obligation in error, and to ensure prompt distribution of
             2113      properly credited funds to the obligee parent.
             2114          (3) Subsection (1)(c) may be exercised only if:
             2115          (a) a court has issued a warrant for the arrest of the taxpayer for failure to post bail,
             2116      appear, or otherwise satisfy the terms of a citation, summons, or court order; and
             2117          (b) a notice of intent to apply the overpayment as bail on the issued warrant has been
             2118      sent to the person's current address on file with the commission.
             2119          (4) (a) The commission shall deliver the overpayment applied as bail to the court that
             2120      issued the warrant of arrest. The clerk of the court is authorized to endorse the check or
             2121      commission warrant of payment on behalf of the payees and deposit the monies in the court
             2122      treasury.
             2123          (b) The court receiving the overpayment applied as bail shall order withdrawal of the
             2124      warrant for arrest of the taxpayer if the case is one for which a personal appearance of the
             2125      taxpayer is not required and if the dollar amount of the overpayment represents the full dollar
             2126      amount of bail. In all other cases, the court receiving the overpayment applied as bail is not
             2127      required to order the withdrawal of the warrant of arrest of the taxpayer during the 40-day
             2128      period, and the taxpayer may be arrested on the warrant. However, the bail amount shall be
             2129      reduced by the amount of tax overpayment received by the court.
             2130          (c) If the taxpayer fails to respond to the notice described in Subsection (3), or to
             2131      resolve the warrant within 40 days after the notice was sent under that subsection, the
             2132      overpayment applied as bail is forfeited and notice of the forfeiture shall be mailed to the
             2133      taxpayer at the current address on file with the commission. The court may then issue another

             2137      personal appearance is required; or
             2138          (iii) the taxpayer has paid partial but not full bail in a case for which a personal
             2139      appearance is not required.
             2140          (5) If the alleged violations named in the warrant are later resolved in favor of the
             2141      taxpayer, the bail amount shall be remitted to the taxpayer.
             2142          (6) Any balance shall be refunded immediately to the taxpayer.
             2143          (7) (a) If a refund or credit is due because the amount of tax deducted and withheld
             2144      from wages exceeds the actual tax due, a refund or credit may not be made or allowed unless
             2145      the taxpayer or his legal representative files with the commission a tax return claiming the
             2146      refund or credit:
             2147          (i) within three years from the due date of the return, plus the period of any extension

             2151      of tax which has not been deducted and withheld from income is due, a credit or refund may
             2152      not be allowed or made after three years from the time the tax was paid, unless, before the
             2153      expiration of the period, a claim is filed by the taxpayer or his legal representative.
             2154          (c) Beginning on July 1, 1998, the commission shall extend the period for a taxpayer to
             2155      file a claim under Subsection (7)(a)(i) if:
             2156          (i) the time period for filing a claim under Subsection (7)(a) has not expired; and
             2157          (ii) the commission and the taxpayer sign a written agreement:
             2158          (A) authorizing the extension; and
             2159          (B) providing for the length of the extension.
             2160          (d) Notwithstanding Subsection (7)(b), beginning on July 1, 1998, the commission
             2161      shall extend the period for a taxpayer to file a claim under Subsection (7)(b) if:
             2162          (i) the three-year period under Subsection (7)(b) has not expired; and
             2163          (ii) the commission and the taxpayer sign a written agreement:

             2173      from the time the return was due for the taxable year of the loss.
             2174          (11) If there has been an overpayment of the tax which is required to be deducted and

             2176      that the amount of overpayment was not deducted and withheld by the employer.
             2177          (12) If there is no tax liability for a period in which an amount is paid as income tax,
             2178      the amount is an overpayment.
             2179          (13) If an income tax is assessed or collected after the expiration of the applicable
             2180      period of limitation, that amount is an overpayment.
             2181          (14) (a) If a taxpayer is required to report a change or correction in federal taxable
             2182      income reported on [his] the taxpayer's federal income tax return, or to report a change or
             2183      correction which is treated in the same manner as if it were an overpayment for federal income

             2185      any resulting overpayment of tax shall be filed by the taxpayer within two years from the date
             2186      the notice of the change, correction, or amended return was required to be filed with the
