- 5 - circumstances, we will not look behind a notice of deficiency to examine the evidence used by the Commissioner in her determination. Id. Respondent considered reliable information that related to petitioner in particular. Attachments to the deficiency notice identify petitioner's employers and other sources of income. Nothing on the face of the notice of deficiency indicates that respondent failed to make a determination with respect to petitioner's tax liability. We find that respondent satisfied the requirements of section 6212, and the notice of deficiency issued to petitioner is valid. Thus, we have jurisdiction over this case. Despite petitioner's extensive and well-written arguments on brief, the factual allegations deemed admitted under Rule 91(f) establish that petitioner had income for the years in issue which she failed to report. In addition, petitioner did not present any evidence contesting respondent's determination that she is subject to self-employment tax under section 1401. We sustain respondent's determination as to the deficiencies in petitioner's Federal income and self-employment taxes. Section 6654(a) imposes an addition to tax for failure to make timely estimated income tax payments. Section 6654(e) contains exceptions to the application of the addition to tax. Petitioner bears the burden of proving that she is not liable for additions to tax. Rule 142(a).Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 Next
