First of all, tell me which words you think make up the adjective clause in this sentence.
Let me know.
PS -- There's no point in switching names. That just causes confusion later.
This sentence also has an implied word; that is, it's not there, but we understand what is missing. Notice:
The time for complaints about the tax notices [which] you have received has already passed.

Right?
Yes, you're correct! The adjective clause in the sentence "The time for complaints about the tax notices you have received has already passed" modifies the noun "complaints."
To determine this, you can follow these steps:
1. Identify the verb in the main clause: In this case, it is "has passed."
2. Check for any words that describe the noun before or after the verb: Here, we have "the time for complaints."
3. Identify the noun being described: The noun being modified is "complaints."
So, the adjective clause "for complaints about the tax notices you have received" clarifies and gives more information about the noun "complaints."
