(c) Determine whether there is a difference in amounts claimed versus amounts disbursed and assess a deficiency against the taxpayer or provide a refund.
(2) If a taxpayer who has received any advance payments established under ORS § 315.276 does not claim a credit under ORS § 315.273, or does not provide sufficient substantiation of eligibility for the claimed amount, the Department of Revenue shall notify the taxpayer of any overpayment attributable to the installment payments made under ORS § 315.276.
(3) The Department of Revenue shall discontinue payments under ORS § 315.276 if the department discovers that the taxpayer:

(b) Has changed or is likely to change tax filing status; or
(c) Is not reasonably likely to qualify for the tax credit under ORS § 315.273 for the next upcoming tax year for which advance payments are otherwise to be made.
