The tax return, which in most cases is one of the essential factors supporting an overpayment, must be a return which satisfies all of the statutory requirements. Overpayments arising from tax paid after the mailing of the statutory notice need not be broken down in the decision into specific dates paid. The court’s decision must also specify the date or dates the tax or penalty was paid, and the portion of the overpayment for each such date. If the overpayment comes out of tax paid on two or more dates, the stipulation or Rule 155 computation must set forth the basis supporting the portion of the overpayment for each of the dates on which the tax was paid. The attorney will then determine the date or dates of payment from which the proposed overpayment is to come, and whether such overpayment is barred by any provision of the internal revenue laws. In cases involving previous allowances for credits or refunds, the attorney must first determine out of which payment such refunds or credits were made.

Generally, the overpayment results from the last tax paid since there is no overpayment in tax or penalty until the full liability therefor has been paid. Payments of tax and penalty cannot be combined in a stipulation or in a Rule 155 computation, and the dates of the payments of tax and penalty must be separately shown. Either the statutory date or the actual date of payment must be given for each payment listed in the document. The terms estimated tax payment or tax withheld should never be used in designating a payment of tax. When the statutory date is used in these situations, it should be indicated in the stipulation or Rule 155 computation that the date is the statutory payment date.
The statutory date of payment is to be used for such amounts. Under sections 65(c) any amounts withheld, paid as estimated income tax, or otherwise paid prior to the return due date, are deemed to have been paid on the last day prescribed for filing the return. In addition to the mathematical computation, the Rule 155 computation or the stipulation must set forth the following: The Rule 155 computation or the settlement stipulation, as the case may be, must reflect every fact necessary for the court to legally determine the overpayment, and the decision must determine such overpayment and find the facts required by statute to support the overpayment. Generally, if no claim for refund specifying the ground which gives rise to the overpayment has been timely filed, an overpayment for the year involved will be barred under the provisions of sections 65(b). These situations primarily involve cases where no statutory return was filed, or where fraud or an understatement of gross income in excess of 25% is the basis for issuing the statutory notice. In some instances a statutory notice of deficiency will be issued after the three-year limitation period where no agreement to extend the period has been executed, or after the period to which the statutory period is extended by agreement has expired. The facts of the case must bring the overpayment within the provisions of section 6512(b). An overpayment should not be determined in a Rule 155 computation or in a settlement stipulation or decision document unless the amount thereof can be legally credited or refunded to the taxpayer.
