- 3 - 1990 through 1992 Federal income tax returns on September 3, 1997, and respondent received petitioners' 1993 return 1 day later. On May 6, 1996, the Commissioner had issued each petitioner two notices of deficiency, one for 1990 and 1991, and the other for 1992 and 1993. Before doing so, the Commissioner had prepared "returns" for each petitioner for each year in issue under the authority of section 6020(b). For each subject year, petitioners' income tax liability, tax payments, and overpayments are as follows: 1990 1991 1992 1993 Tax Liability $169,829 $0 $0 $0 Tax Payments Oct. 17, 1990 3,390 --- Feb. 3, 1991 9,000 --- Apr. 15, 1991 207,610 --- Apr. 15, 1993 --- --- 100 --- Apr. 15, 1994 --- --- --- 3,641 Total 220,000 0 100 3,641 Overpayment 50,171 0 100 3,641 Discussion Respondent argues that petitioners are not entitled to a refund of any of the overpayments because the disputed amounts paid for each year were paid by petitioners more than 2 years before the issuance of the notice of deficiency. Petitioners argue that they are entitled to a refund for 1990 because they filed their 1990 Federal income tax return in 1997, a time that is within 3 years of the time that the petition was filedPage: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 Next
