Excerpt from Despite Incorrect Advice from NYS Tax Department, Conference Request Held to Be Untimely:

In Matter of Kevin Ryan and Paullina Simons, DTA No. 824835 (N.Y.S. Tax App. Trib., Sept. 12, 2013), the New York State Tax Appeals Tribunal affirmed the dismissal of the taxpayers’ petition by the Administrative Law Judge, and found that their request for a conciliation conference was untimely, since it had not been filed within the required 30-day period to contest an assessment containing a fraud penalty.
