(D) After receiving any excise tax annual statement for the tax imposed by section5727.30of the Revised Code, the commissioner shall:

(2) If the difference is a deficiency, the commissioner shall issue an assessment.
(3) If the difference is an excess, the commissioner shall issue a refund of that amount to the taxpayer. If the amount of the refund is less than that claimed by the taxpayer, the taxpayer, within sixty days of the issuance of the refund, may provide to the commissioner additional information to support the claim or may request a hearing. Upon receiving such information or request within that time, the commissioner shall follow the same procedures set forth in divisions (C) and (D) of section5703.70of the Revised Code for the determination of refund applications.

If the amount refundable is less than the amount of the debt, it may be applied in partial satisfaction of the debt. If the amount refundable is greater than the amount of the debt, the amount remaining after satisfaction of the debt shall be refunded.
