(a) Upon final determination of the amount of the debt due and owing by means of a hearing provided by Section 40-18-104 or by the taxpayer's default through failure to comply with Section 40-18-103 mandating timely request for review, the claimant agency shall remove the amount of the debt due and owing from the escrow account established pursuant to Section 40-18-103 and credit such amount to the debtor's obligation.

(b) Upon transfer of the debt due and owing from the escrow account to the credit of the debtor's account, the claimant agency shall notify the debtor in writing of the finalization of the setoff. Such notice shall include a final accounting of the refund which was set off including the amount of the refund to which the debtor was entitled prior to the setoff, the amount of the debt due and owing, the amount of the refund in excess of the debt which was returned to the debtor by the department pursuant to subsection (b) of Section 40-18-103, and the amount of the funds transferred to the claimant agency pursuant to Section 40-18-103 in excess of the debt determined to be due and owing at a hearing held pursuant to Section 40-18-104, if such a hearing was held. At such time, the claimant agency shall refund to the debtor the amount of the claimed debt originally certified and transferred to it by the department in excess of the amount of the debt finally found to be due and owing.
