(1) (a) 
Any report, claim, tax return, statement, or other document required or authorized to be filed
with or any payment made to the executive director that is transmitted through the United States
mail is deemed filed with and received by the executive director on the date shown by the
cancellation mark stamped on the envelope or other wrapper containing the document required
to be filed.
(b) Any such document which is mailed, but not received by the executive director, or is
received and the cancellation mark is not legible, or is erroneous or omitted shall be deemed to
have been filed and received on the date it was mailed if the sender establishes by competent
evidence that the document was deposited in the United States mails on or before the date due
for filing. In such cases of nonreceipt of a document by the executive director, the sender shall
file a duplicate copy thereof within thirty days after written notification is given to the sender by
the executive director of the failure to receive such document.
(2) If any report, claim, tax return, statement, remittance, or other document is sent by
United States registered mail, certified mail, or certificate of mailing, a record authenticated by
the United States postal service of such registration, certification, or certificate shall be
considered competent evidence that the report, claim, tax return, statement, remittance, or other
document was mailed to the executive director, to the state officer or state agency to which it
was addressed, and the date of the registration, certification, or certificate shall be deemed to be
the postmark date.
(3) If the date for filing any report, claim, tax return, statement, remittance, or other
document falls upon a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, it shall be deemed to have been timely
filed if filed on the next business day.
(4) The date of receipt of returns or other documents made, filed, signed, subscribed,
verified, transmitted, received, or stored under the alternative methods provided in sections 39-
21-119.5 and 39-21-120 are determined pursuant to rules and regulations adopted by the
executive director pursuant to section 39-21-112 (1).
