(2) set forth the amount of the refund that the person is claiming;
(3) set forth the reasons the person is claiming the refund; and

(c) After considering the claim and all evidence relevant to the claim, the bureau shall issue a decision on the claim, stating the part, if any, of the refund allowed and containing a statement of the reasons for any part of the refund that is denied. The bureau shall mail, or send electronically if the claimant has indicated a preference for receiving notices from the bureau electronically, a copy of the decision to the claimant.
