(a) The Tax Administrator may require any person filing a tax document with the Tax Administrator to provide identifying information, which may include the person’s Social Security number, federal employer identification number or other identification number requested by the Tax Administrator. A person required by the Tax Administrator to provide identifying information that has experienced any change with respect to that information shall notify the Tax Administrator of the change before, or upon, filing the next tax document requiring the identifying information.
(b) (1) If the Tax Administrator makes a request for identifying information and the Tax Administrator does not receive valid identifying information within 30 days of making the request, nothing in this chapter prohibits the Tax Administrator from imposing a penalty upon the person to whom the request was directed pursuant to § 880.29, in addition to any applicable penalty described in § 880.99.
(2) If a person required by the Tax Administrator to provide identifying information does not notify the Tax Administrator of a change with respect to that information as required under division (a) above within 30 days after filing the next tax document requiring such identifying information, nothing in this chapter prohibits the Tax Administrator from imposing a penalty pursuant to § 880.29.
(3) The penalties provided for under divisions (b)(1) and (b)(2) above may be billed and imposed in the same manner as the tax or fee with respect to which the identifying information is sought and are in addition to any applicable criminal penalties described in § 880.99 for a violation of § 880.38, and any other penalties that may be imposed by the Tax Administrator by law.
