            indicate that either notice of deficiency was returned to                                  
            respondent by the Postal Service.                                                          
                  On December 6, 1999, respondent filed a supplement to                                
            respondent's motion to dismiss.  Respondent attached to the                                
            supplement copies of petitioner’s timely filed income tax returns                          
            (Forms 1040) for the 2 years in issue, both of which list the                              
            Ulloa Street address as petitioner’s home address.  Respondent                             
            also attached to the supplement a copy of petitioner’s timely                              
            filed income tax return (1040PC format) for 1996, which also                               
            lists the Ulloa Street address as petitioner’s home address.                               
            Finally, respondent attached to the supplement copies of                                   
            transcripts of computer records obtained in June 1997 showing                              
            petitioner’s current address as the Ulloa Street address.  In the                          
            supplement, respondent acknowledges that at that time (i.e., in                            
            June 1997) petitioner’s brother Gary Munoz informed respondent                             
            that petitioner was stationed overseas in Korea on a military                              
            assignment; however, respondent asserts that the brother was                               
            unable to provide a forwarding address for petitioner.                                     
            Discussion                                                                                 
                  This Court's jurisdiction to redetermine a deficiency                                
            depends upon the issuance of a valid notice of deficiency and a                            
            timely filed petition.  See Rule 13(a), (c); Monge v.                                      
            Commissioner, 93 T.C. 22, 27 (1989); Normac, Inc. v.                                       
            Commissioner, 90 T.C. 142, 147 (1988).  Section 6212(a) expressly
