Utah Code, Section 59-10-529

59-10-529. Overpayment of tax--Credits--Refunds.

(1) In cases where there has been an overpayment of any tax imposed by this chapter, the amount of overpayment is credited as follows:

(2)(a) Subsection (1)(b)(ii) may be exercised only if the Office of Recovery Services has mailed written notice to the taxpayer's last-known address or the address on file under Section 62A-11-304.4, stating: (3) Subsection (1)(c) may be exercised only if: (4)(a) The commission shall deliver the overpayment applied as bail to the court that issued the warrant of arrest. The clerk of the court is authorized to endorse the check or commission warrant of payment on behalf of the payees and deposit the monies in the court treasury. (5) If the alleged violations named in the warrant are later resolved in favor of the taxpayer, the bail amount shall be remitted to the taxpayer.

(6) Any balance shall be refunded immediately to the taxpayer.

(7)(a) If a refund or credit is due because the amount of tax deducted and withheld from wages exceeds the actual tax due, no refund or credit may be made or allowed unless the taxpayer or his legal representative files with the commission a tax return claiming the refund or credit:

(8) The fine and bail forfeiture provisions of this section apply to all warrants and fines issued in cases charging the taxpayer with a felony, a misdemeanor, or an infraction described in this section which are outstanding on or after February 16, 1984.

(9) If the amount allowable as a credit for tax withheld from the taxpayer exceeds the tax to which the credit relates, the excess is considered an overpayment.

(10) A claim for credit or refund of an overpayment which is attributable to the application to the taxpayer of a net operating loss carryback shall be filed within three years from the time the return was due for the taxable year of the loss.

(11) If there has been an overpayment of the tax which is required to be deducted and withheld under Section 59-10-402, a refund shall be made to the employer only to the extent that the amount of overpayment was not deducted and withheld by the employer.

(12) If there is no tax liability for a period in which an amount is paid as income tax, the amount is an overpayment.

(13) If an income tax is assessed or collected after the expiration of the applicable period of limitation, that amount is an overpayment.

(14)(a) If a taxpayer is required to report a change or correction in federal taxable income reported on his federal income tax return, or to report a change or correction which is treated in the same manner as if it were an overpayment for federal income tax purposes, or to file an amended return with the commission, a claim for credit or refund of any resulting overpayment of tax shall be filed by the taxpayer within two years from the date the notice of the change, correction, or amended return was required to be filed with the commission.

(15) No credit or refund may be allowed or made if the overpayment is less than $1.

(16) The amount of the credit or refund may not exceed the tax paid during the three years immediately preceding the filing of the claim, or if no claim is filed, then during the three years immediately preceding the allowance of the credit or refund.

(17) In the case of an overpayment of tax by the employer under the withholding provisions of this chapter, a refund or credit shall be made to the employer only to the extent that the amount of the overpayment was not deducted and withheld from wages under the provisions of this chapter.

(18) If a taxpayer who is entitled to a refund under this chapter dies, the commission may make payment to the duly appointed executor or administrator of the taxpayer's estate. If there is no executor or administrator, payment may be made to those persons who establish entitlement to inherit the property of the decedent in the proportions set out in Title 75, Uniform Probate Code.

(19) Where an overpayment relates to adjustments to net income referred to in Subsection 59-10-536 (3)(c), credit may be allowed or a refund paid any time before the expiration of the period within which a deficiency may be assessed.

(20) An overpayment of a tax imposed by this chapter shall accrue interest at the rate and in the manner prescribed in Section 59-1-402.
