Such return shall be in such form and contain\nsuch information as the director of finance may require for the purpose\nof making any computation or otherwise performing its duty under this\npart. Such return shall state specifically the items of gross income\nderived from such business and the deductions allowed by this part, the\nnet income which is the basis of the tax, and the amount of tax due.\nThe return shall be subscribed by the president, vice-president,\ntreasurer, assistant treasurer, chief accounting officer or any other\nofficer of the taxpayer duly authorized so to act. The fact that an\nindividual's name is signed on the return shall be prima facie evidence\nthat such individual is authorized to subscribe and affirm the return on\nbehalf of the corporation. Blank forms of return shall be furnished by\nthe director of finance upon application, but failure to secure the form\nshall not relieve any taxpayer from the obligation of making any return\nherein required. An automatic extension of three months for the filing\nof its annual return shall be allowed any taxpayer if, within the time\nprescribed herein for the filing thereof, such taxpayer files with the\ndirector of finance an application for extension in such form as the\ndirector of finance may prescribe by regulation and pays on or before\nthe date of such filing the amount properly estimated as its tax. The\ndirector of finance may grant a reasonable extension of time for filing\na return, which may be in addition to any automatic extension allowed\nunder the preceding sentence, whenever in its judgment good cause exists\nand shall keep a record of every such extension and the reason therefor.\nNo such extension or extensions shall aggregate more than three months,\nexclusive of any automatic extension.\n  If the amount of taxable income for any year of any taxpayer as\nreturned to the United States treasury department is changed or\ncorrected by the commissioner of internal revenue or other officer of\nthe United States or other competent authority, or if a taxpayer,\npursuant to subsection (d) of section sixty-two hundred thirteen of the\ninternal revenue code, executes a notice of waiver of the restrictions\nprovided in subsection (a) of said section, such taxpayer shall report\nsuch change or corrected taxable income or such execution of such notice\nof waiver and the changes or corrections of his federal taxable income\non which it is based, within ninety days after such execution or the\nfinal determination of such change or correction, or on its next return\nunder this part, or as required by the director of finance, and shall\nconcede the accuracy of such determination or state wherein it is\nerroneous. Any taxpayer filing an amended return with such department\nshall also file within ninety days thereafter an amended return with the\ndirector of finance which shall contain such information as it shall\nrequire.\n
