MATTHEW G. SHELDON and JESSICA L. CULLERTON-SHELDON, Plaintiffs v. DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE, State of Oregon, Defendant.
FINAL DECISION
JILL A. TANNER PRESIDING MAGISTRATE J.
The court entered its Decision in the above-entitled matter on January 30, 2014. The court did not receive a request for an award of costs and disbursements (TCR-MD 19) within 14 days after its Decision was entered. The court's Final Decision incorporates its Decision without change.
This matter is before the court on Defendant's Answer filed January 30, 2014. Plaintiffs filed their Complaint on January 6, 2014, challenging Defendant's Notice of Deficiency Assessment for the 2012 tax year, and requesting their “original tax return be upheld as correct with tax to pay, penalty and interested assessed be removed as they are in error.” (Ptfs' Compl at 1.) Defendant stated in its Answer that “Defendant will accept Plaintiff[s'] 2012 return as filed by restoring the Oregon Income Tax Withholding of $1, 242 originally reported by Plaintiff[s].” (Def's Ans at 1.) Because the Defendant agrees to allow the relief requested by Plaintiffs, this matter is ready for decision. Now, therefore, IT IS THE DECISION OF THIS COURT that for the 2012 tax year, Defendant shall cancel its Notice of Deficiency Assessment dated October 29, 2013, and accept Plaintiffs' return as filed, restoring the Oregon Income Tax Withholding in the amount of $1, 242.
