Because some taxpayers have had questions regarding the Department’s filing requirements for Form NC-3 and certain 1099 informational returns, Secretary Ronald G. Penny has elected to automatically waive the failure to file penalty on NC-3 forms due to be filed by January 31, 2018, but which are filed after that date. As such, the Department will not impose the failure to file penalty on NC-3 forms due to be filed on January 31, 2018 if the return is not timely filed.
