          Payments,2 for petitioners for 1994, an assessment of $4,806 was            
          made on February 18, 1998.  Petitioners raise various arguments             
          that question the accuracy and effect of the Form 4340, none of             
          which we find has any merit.  See Davis v. Commissioner, 115                
          T.C.__ (2000).                                                              
               The IRS subsequently informed petitioners that it intended             
          to levy for unpaid Federal taxes for 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1997.             
          Petitioners filed a Form 12153, Request for a Collection Due                
          Process (CDP) Hearing, in response to the notice of intent to               
          levy.                                                                       
               On October 29, 1999, respondent's Connecticut-Rhode Island             
          Appeals Office issued a notice of determination to petitioners              
          stating that it had reviewed the proposed collection action.  The           
          notice informed petitioners that it had been determined that all            
          requirements of administrative procedure and applicable law were            
          met with regard to the proposed collection action.  The notice              
          explained that because they had already received a hearing with             
          Appeals regarding the 1994 liability, and the only issue raised             
          in the CDP hearing was their liability for the underlying tax,              
          they were precluded from raising the issue in a CDP hearing,                
          citing section 6330(c)(4).                                                  
               Petitioners were further advised that if they wanted to                


               2Form 4340, Certificate of Assessments and Payments, is                
          presumptive proof of a valid assessment.  See Davis v.                      
          Commissioner, 115 T.C.__ (2000), and cases cited therein.
