                                       - 16 -                                         
          act.  In fact, our review reflects that respondent followed                 
          regular IRS procedures in processing petitioner’s various offers            
          in compromise and that interest accruals for 1994 and 1997 were             
          merely the result of petitioner’s failure to pay the entire                 
          balance owed.  We therefore conclude that respondent did not                
          abuse his discretion by denying petitioner’s request to abate               
          interest on the Brauns’ unpaid tax liabilities for 1994 and 1997.           
          Accordingly, we sustain respondent’s determination.                         
               In reaching our holding, we have considered all arguments              
          made, and, to the extent not mentioned, we conclude that they are           
          moot, irrelevant, or without merit.                                         
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              

                                                  Decision will be entered            
                                             for respondent.
