The claim shall be filed with the county auditor on a form approved by the state board of accounts. With regard to a taxpayer filing an appeal under IC 6-1.1-15, the notice of appeal shall be treated as a claim for refund by the taxpayer filed as of the date of the final disposition of an appeal by the county board, board of tax review, department of local government finance, or a court.
(b) A claim for refund must be filed within the later of three (3) years after the tax is paid, or three (3) years after the final disposition of an appeal by the county board, board of tax review, department of local government finance, or a court, with respect to a particular tax year.
(c) A claim for refund must state a claim that a payment was made in excess of the taxes due as established by:
(1) a determination by the county board, board of tax review, department of local government finance, or a court, for the tax year and parcel on which the taxes were paid, and after such time as all rights of appeal have lapsed;
(2) proof of an error in the computation of interest, penalties, or delinquent taxes carried forward; or
(3) proof of an overpayment by the claimant.
(d) A taxpayer may not raise a claim under this section that must be raised under IC 6-1.1-15.
(e) A taxpayer is not entitled to a refund if the payment has been applied as a credit to later tax liabilities of the taxpayer for the property on which the tax was assessed.
