The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) assessed an income tax deficiency (along with penalties and interest) and three section 6702 frivolous return penalties (and related interest) with regard to petitioner’s 1994 tax return. On February 4, 1999, after previously collecting and applying $1,019 to the outstanding liability related to the section 6702 frivolous return penalties and related interest (prior collection activities), respondent issued a Notice of Intent to Levy and Notice of Your Right to a Hearing (levy notice) to petitioner with regard to the outstanding balance of the income tax deficiency (and related penalties and interest) and the section 6702 frivolous return penalties (and related interest). See sec. 6330(a). In the levy notice, among other items, the IRS asserted that petitioner had an outstanding balance of $500 for the section 6702 frivolous return penalties and $59 for interest related to those penalties.
