AI Summary

Party Considers Paying Interest on Two Audit Points, Contests Third Due to High Interest; Department Can't Interfere. A party is considering paying interest on small amounts identified in two audit points but intends to contest a third point due to a higher interest amount. They question how the department might view their differing approaches in similar cases. The response suggests that if they choose to contest one point, they could contest all since the litigation would be unified. However, if they pay interest on two points and contest the third, the department cannot interfere, as the decision should be based on legal merits, not the taxpayer's stance.
