(A) The department, in its discretion, may accept installment payments for amounts due it for a period not to exceed one year from the date the payment was due. Interest accrues during the installment period, pursuant to § 12-54-25. In addition, the department may extend the time for payment beyond one year if it is shown to the satisfaction of the department that the payment of the amount due it upon the date originally fixed for the payment will result in undue hardship to the taxpayer.

(B) An extension may not be granted under this section for an amount due the department if the taxpayer acted negligently, disregarded rules or regulations intentionally, or committed fraud with intent to evade tax.
