                                        - 7 -                                         
          Notice and Demand for payment must be made on a Form 17.  We find           
          petitioners’ positions to be misguided.  Petitioners’ other                 
          arguments at trial were without merit and not worthy of mention.            
               After reviewing this record and hearing petitioners’                   
          arguments, we conclude and hold that respondent did not abuse his           
          discretion in determining to proceed with enforced collection               
          activity.3                                                                  
                                        Respondent’s Motion for Summary               
                                   Judgment will be granted, and a decision           
                                   entered permitting respondent to proceed           
                                   with collection.                                   















               3 We must note that petitioners’ efforts appear to be solely           
          focused on avoiding payment and/or collection of tax on wages               
          that they admit receiving.  Throughout the lengthy administrative           
          process and at the hearing on summary judgment petitioners did              
          not raise anything but frivolous and baseless arguments, most of            
          which have been rejected on numerous occasions by this and other            
          courts.  We admonish petitioners that we shall consider the                 
          imposition of a penalty under sec. 6673 in any future proceeding            
          where petitioners raise the same arguments.
