See Hotel Occupancy Tax Quarterly Refund (FPP B.006) for more information.

Each state agency has its own internal CAPPS level 1 support staff who can troubleshoot basic CAPPS issues. If level 1 contacts cannot resolve an issue, they can submit a service request to the Comptroller’s CAPPS service desk. Only authorized support staff may contact the CAPPS service desk.

See CAPPS Agency Support for a list of your agency’s level 1 contacts.
