 3  accepted as timely if initiated and accepted on the next

 4  succeeding workday.

 5         2.  The department may waive the requirement to make a

 6  return through an electronic data interchange due to problems

 7  arising from the taxpayer's computer capabilities, data

 8  systems changes, and taxpayer operating procedures.  To obtain

 9  a waiver, the taxpayer shall demonstrate in writing to the

10  department that such circumstances exist.
