Current through September 16, 2024

1. If a taxpayer fails to file a return as required by the applicable provisions of chapter 360, 360B, 362, 363A, 363B, 363C, 363D, 369, 370, 372, 372A, 372B, 374, 377, 377A, 377C or 444A of NRS, NRS 482.313, 482C.230 or 482C.240, or chapter 585 or 680B of NRS, the taxpayer or the taxpayer's representative may file with the Department an application for voluntary disclosure in a form prescribed by the Department before the Department has initiated an audit or investigation of the taxpayer. An application is deemed to be filed with the Department on the date the application is received by the Department.

2. If the Department verifies that it did not initiate an audit or investigation of the taxpayer before the date on which the application was filed, the Department shall accept the application and notify the taxpayer or the taxpayer's representative, as applicable, of the acceptance of the application within 30 days after the date on which the application was filed.

3. For the purposes of subsections 1 and 2, the Department has initiated an audit or investigation of a taxpayer if the Department has:

(a) Contacted the taxpayer by telephone, in person or in writing regarding a possible tax liability or registration requirement; or

(b) Given the taxpayer written notice that an audit will be conducted by the Department concerning liability for the type of tax that the taxpayer wishes to disclose voluntarily pursuant to this section.

4. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 5, the Department shall not consider the tax liability of a taxpayer as being voluntarily disclosed unless, within 90 days after the date on which notice of acceptance of the taxpayer's application is given pursuant to subsection 2, the taxpayer or the taxpayer's representative complies with the requirements of this subsection. The taxpayer or the taxpayer's representative must:

(a) File with the Department any required registration and the delinquent tax returns for the tax estimated to be owed for the period being disclosed or, if the period being disclosed exceeds 8 years, for the 8 years immediately preceding the date on which the application was filed;

(b) Pay the tax estimated to be owed for the period being disclosed or, if the period being disclosed exceeds 8 years, for the 8 years immediately preceding the date on which the application was filed; and

(c) Submit any additional information or material required by the Department.

5. If a request for an extension of time to satisfy the requirements of subsection 4 is made in writing to the Department after the filing of an application and within 90 days after the date on which notice of acceptance of the application is given pursuant to subsection 2, the Director or a person designated by the Director may grant a taxpayer or the taxpayer's representative one extension of time, not to exceed 90 days, to satisfy those requirements. The request must be accompanied by proof satisfactory to the Director or his or her designee that the requirements cannot be satisfied within the time otherwise required by subsection 4 despite the exercise of ordinary care by the taxpayer or the taxpayer's representative and because of circumstances beyond the control of the taxpayer or the taxpayer's representative.

6. The circumstances described in subsection 5 include, without limitation:

(a) A natural disaster or other disaster;

(b) The death or hospitalization of the taxpayer or the taxpayer's representative; or

(c) Any other circumstance that could not reasonably have been anticipated at the time the application was filed.
