(i. thirty days after payment of such tax if the individual filed his individual income tax return via electronic means; or
(ii. sixty days after payment of such tax if the individual filed his individual income tax return using a method other than electronic means.In no case shall interest be paid for the overpayment of the same tax pursuant to this subsection and subsection A.

1. Any individual income tax deducted and withheld at the source and paid to the Department, and any amount paid as estimated tax, shall be deemed to have been paid on the day on which the return for such year’s income was filed;
2. Any corporate or estate and trust income tax deducted and withheld at the source and paid to the Department, and any amount paid as estimated tax, shall be deemed to have been paid on the day on which the return for such year’s income was filed, or the last day prescribed by law for filing such return, whichever is later; and
3. Any overpayment of tax resulting from the carry-back of a net operating loss or net capital loss shall be deemed to have been made on the day on which the return for the year in which the loss occurred was filed, or the last day prescribed by law for such filing, whichever is later.
D. The Tax Commissioner and the State Comptroller shall implement procedures to allow an individual requesting a refund of the overpayment of individual income tax when filing his individual income tax return to elect on such return to have the refund paid by check mailed to the address provided on his return.
