Mississippi Code Title 27. Taxation and Finance § 27-65-35

If no return is made on or before the due date by any taxpayer required to make a return, the commissioner, as soon as practicable after the due date, shall make an assessment of taxes and damages from any information available, which shall be prima facie correct. The commissioner shall give written notice by mail or by personal delivery to the taxpayer of the tax and damages thus assessed and demand payment within sixty (60) days from the date the commissioner mailed or hand delivered the notice. In the case of an individual, the notice shall be sent by mail to the taxpayer or delivered by an agent of the commissioner to the taxpayer, to a manager or general agent at the taxpayer's place of business or to someone above the age of sixteen (16) years at the taxpayer's residence. In the case of a partnership, the notice shall be sent by mail to the partnership or delivered by an agent of the commissioner to any partner, to a manager or general agent at the taxpayer's place of business or to someone above the age of sixteen (16) years at the residence of any partner. In the case of a corporation, limited liability company, joint venture, association, estate, trust or other group or combination acting as a unit, including any government entity, the notice shall be sent by mail to the taxpayer or delivered by an agent of the commissioner to an officer of the entity, to someone above the age of sixteen (16) years at the residence of an officer of the entity or to a manager or general agent at the taxpayer's place of business. However, if the taxpayer shall file a return and pay the tax shown to be due within sixty (60) days from the date the commissioner mailed or hand delivered the assessment, the return and payment shall be accepted in lieu of the assessment.
