In addition to objects mentioned elsewhere in this act, such regulations may describe the treatment to be accorded to items of exchange of property and the recognition or nonrecognition thereof, the deferment of gains from the sale of a personal residence, war losses, employee stock options, inclusions, exclusions and exemptions from gross income, pensions, common trust funds, and may provide for the determination and assessment of interest or penalties, extensions of time for performing any act or making any payment, suspension of penalty or interest or both for limited periods, waiver or reduction of additional taxes, gathering of information and filing of reports for information, and all other matters reasonably required for the fair, impartial and practical administration of this act.
(b) Except as otherwise provided, the amount of tax due on any return shall be determined by the division within 3 1/2 years after the return was made. When the return omits an amount greater than 25% of the taxable income reported, and which should have been included, such determination shall be made within 6 1/2 years after the return was made. When no return is made, or when a return is made willfully false or fraudulent with intent to evade the tax, or if taxpayer fails to report a change or correction made by another taxing jurisdiction or fails to file an amended return when required to by this act, the amount of the tax may be determined at any time. Where, for 1 taxable year, a deduction disallowed appears to have been allowable in some other taxable year not more than 5 years prior thereto, the return for such earlier year may be revised and the tax for said year resettled, and if the same shall result in a lower tax for said earlier year, the overpayment may be allowed as a credit against, but not in excess of, any assessment resulting from the disallowance for the later year.
