Licensee Review

What is a Licensee Review?
First and foremost, a review is an educational meeting between a Revenue Agent and a taxpayer. The purpose of the meeting is to provide education on South Dakota tax laws.

What happens during a Licensee Review?
Typically, the Revenue Agent will schedule the review at the taxpayer's place of business. The agent will discuss tax issues with the taxpayer and review a limited number of records to determine if there are any problem areas. If problems are discovered, the taxpayer may be asked to complete self-audit worksheets to correct the problems.

What are the benefits of a Licensee Review?
Taxpayers benefit from the review program for the following reasons:

  1. Less time-consuming - a limited amount of time is spent analyzing records.
  2. One-on-one education at the taxpayer's place of business.
  3. Opportunity to correct problems without having to go through the audit process.
