          P.O. Box 5072, Hillside, New Jersey 07205 (the P.O. Box 5072                
          address).                                                                   
               At the time that the notice of deficiency for 1988 was                 
          mailed, respondent's files pertaining to petitioner's 1988                  
          taxable year included correspondence from petitioner dated June             
          15, 1991.  That correspondence reflected the Summit Avenue                  
          address as petitioner's address.2                                           
               Petitioner filed a petition for redetermination with the               
          Court on May 27, 1997.3  The petition arrived at the Court by               
          certified mail in an envelope bearing a U.S. Postal Service                 
          postmark date of May 21, 1997.                                              
               The petition, which does not bear petitioner's original                
          signature and which was not accompanied by the filing fee,4 seeks           
          to place in issue the taxable years 1988, 1989, 1990, and 1991.             
          The petition does not include a copy of any notice of deficiency            
          for 1990.  See Rule 34(b)(8).                                               
               Subsequent to the filing of the petition, petitioner filed a           
          Motion to Restrain Assessment or Collection.  Petitioner attached           
          to her motion copies of approximately 40 letters, virtually all             

               2  The record does not include a copy of petitioner's income           
          tax return for 1987, and the record is otherwise silent regarding           
          what address was listed thereon.                                            
               3  The petition lists the P.O. Box 5072 address as                     
          petitioner's address.                                                       
               4  Rules 33(a), 23(a)(3), and 34(b)(7) require that a                  
          petition bear the original signature of a petitioner.  Rule 20(b)           
          requires that a petition be accompanied by a $60 filing fee.
