    |
0011|     provisions of Sections 7-1-67 and 7-1-69 NMSA 1978 apply.

0003|            A.  Any person who believes that an amount of tax has
    |
0004|     been paid by or withheld from that person in excess of that for
    |
0005|     which the person was liable, who has been denied any credit or
    |
0006|     rebate claimed or who claims a prior right to property in the
    |
0007|     possession of the department pursuant to a levy made under
    |
0008|     authority of Sections 7-1-31 through 7-1-34 NMSA 1978 may claim
    |
0009|     a refund by directing to the secretary, within the time limited
    |
0010|     by the provisions of Subsections B and C [and D] of this
    |
0011|     section, a written claim for refund.  Every claim for refund
    |
0012|     shall state the nature of the person's complaint and contain
    |
0013|     information sufficient to allow processing of the claim, except
    |
0014|     as provided in Subsection G of this section.  The secretary or
    |
0015|     the secretary's delegate may allow the claim in whole or in part
    |
0016|     or may deny the claim.  If the claim is denied in whole or in
    |
0017|     part in writing, the claim may not be refiled.  If the claim is
    |
0018|     not granted in full, the person, within ninety days after either
    |
0019|     the mailing of the denial of all or any part of the claim, may
    |
0020|     elect to pursue one, but not more than one, of the remedies in

    |
0022|     has neither granted nor denied any portion of a claim for refund
    |
0023|     within one hundred twenty days of the date the claim was mailed
    |

0001|     may, within ninety days, elect to pursue one, but only one, of
    |
0002|     the remedies in Paragraphs (1) and (2) of this subsection.  In
    |
0003|     any case, if a person does timely pursue more than one remedy,
    |
0004|     the person shall be deemed to have elected the first remedy
    |
0005|     invoked.  The remedies are as follows:
    |
0006|                 (1)  the person may direct to the secretary a
    |
0007|     written protest against the denial of, or failure to either
    |
0008|     allow or deny, the claim, which shall be set for hearing by a
    |
0009|     hearing officer designated by the secretary promptly after the
    |
0010|     receipt of the protest in accordance with the provisions of
    |
0011|     Section 7-1-24 NMSA 1978 and pursue the remedies of appeal from
    |
0012|     decisions adverse to the protestant as provided in Section
    |
0013|     7-1-25 NMSA 1978; or
    |
0014|                 (2)  the person may commence a civil action in
    |
0015|     the district court for Santa Fe county by filing a complaint
    |
0016|     setting forth the circumstance of the claimed overpayment,
    |
0017|     alleging that on account thereof the state is indebted to the
    |
0018|     plaintiff in the amount stated, together with any interest
    |
0019|     allowable, demanding the refund to the plaintiff of that amount
    |
0020|     and reciting the facts of the claim for refund.  The plaintiff
    |
0021|     or the secretary may appeal from any final decision or order of
    |
0022|     the district court to the court of appeals.
    |
0023|            B.  Except as otherwise provided in [Subsections]

    |
0001|     assessment applies to a period ending at least three years prior
    |
0002|     to the beginning of the year in which the assessment was made,
