Opinion
TC-MD 101154C.
May 4, 2011.
DECISION
Plaintiff filed his Complaint on September 29, 2010. A case management conference was held on December 28, 2010.
Defendant filed a Status Report with the court on April 1, 2011, with proposed adjustments to Plaintiff's 1999 Oregon tax returns. In that report, Defendant indicated the adjustments had been discussed with Plaintiff and he had agreed with the auditor's recommendations.
On April 18, 2011, court staff contacted Plaintiff by telephone and Plaintiff advised court staff that he agreed with the proposed adjustments. Plaintiff was instructed to send that agreement to the court so that a judgment could be issued in this matter. The court has not received any further communication from Plaintiff.
Therefore, the court will adopt Defendant's recommendation, as set out in its Status Report filed April 1, 2011. Defendant will allow the mortgage interest and property tax paid deductions. Because the 1999 tax due has been paid in full, Defendant will issue Plaintiff a refund for the reduction of tax plus penalty and interest.
Now, therefore,
IT IS THE DECISION OF THIS COURT that Defendant shall reduce Plaintiff's tax to pay as set out above and issue a refund in the amount of $444 plus any statutory interest.
