- 9 - Also for the years in issue, petitioner did not pay any estimated taxes, and petitioner did not qualify under section 6654(e) for an exception to the statute requiring payment of estimated taxes. Discussion Summary judgment or partial summary judgment may be granted if pleadings, answers to interrogatories, admissions, and other acceptable material show that no genuine issue as to any material fact exists and that a decision may be entered as a matter of law. Rule 121(b). This Court has held in numerous cases that deemed admissions alone may support summary adjudication in favor of respondent in cases involving unreported income. Frazier v. Commissioner, 91 T.C. 1, 12-13 (1988); Marshall v. Commissioner, 85 T.C. 267 (1985); Doncaster v. Commissioner, 77 T.C. 334, 337- 338 (1981). Where a motion for summary judgment is made and supported as provided under Rule 121, the opposing party may not rest upon mere allegations or denials in pleadings, but the opposing party must set forth specific facts showing that there exists a genuine issue for trial. Rule 121(d). Where affirmative allegations and requests for admission are deemed admitted under Rules 37(c) and 90(c), facts underlying the deemed admissions are conclusively established unless the Court on motion permits withdrawal or modification of the admissions.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Next
