Whatever the outcome, please don't do anything drastic. Won't go into detail but we have something similar in the family right now on a much bigger scale, and the person involved almost did something about it... and not in a good way.
Anyway, if the taxing entity can't patch this up, try the local authority that creates the taxation law. Depending on where it comes from, this could be the town council or county board. They are your local elected representatives, they are tasked with making the laws and working with the people, and that's probably the next step should direct contact not work out.
Really, you likely have history on your side. If she's been getting this exemption for a few years now and the town / county / whatever recognizes that she lives in the same place as before, then there's no practical reason why an extension can't be granted.
Anyway, mistakes happen. Sometimes they cost a lot of money. Sometimes it's other people's money. That's the way it goes. Learn from it, do your level best to correct the mistake, and move forward.
And get some calendar software. ; )
