Kevin Sullivan, the state commissioner of revenue services, issued a public apology today for an agency error that caused about 120,000 taxpayers to overstate the value of a property tax credit, resulting in about $12 million in underpayments to the state.
The goof means lots of taxpayers can expect a letter telling them they’ll need to refund a portion of their refund.
“When we make a mistake, we own it and fix it immediately,” Sullivan said.
A statement about the apology went out at about 4:30 p.m., three hours after Rep. Vincent J. Candelora, R-North Branford, issued a press release publicizing the error.
