T.C. Memo. 1998-403 UNITED STATES TAX COURT CAROLYN M. FANKHANEL, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent Docket No. 2835-95. Filed November 12, 1998. P failed to file returns for 11 years. P claims that R’s notice of deficiency constituted a “naked assessment”, that she is entitled to additional dependency exemptions for some years, that she received no interest income on child-support arrearages, that she had additional rental property connected expenses, and that she is not liable for additions to tax. Held: R’s determination of deficiencies is not arbitrary and, thus, is not a naked assessment. Held, further, sufficient evidence supports R’s determination of unreported income. Held, further, P received interest on child-support arrearages. Held, further, P failed to prove her entitlement to additional dependency exemptions. Held, further, P failed to prove additional rental-property-connected expenses. Held, further, P is liable under secs. 6651(a)(1) and 6654(a), I.R.C., additions to tax. Held, further, on Court’s own motion, a penalty in the amount of $5,000 is imposed under sec. 6673(a)(1), I.R.C.Page: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 Next
