- 2 - Ross M. Greenberg, for respondent. MEMORANDUM OPINION PAJAK, Special Trial Judge: Respondent determined a deficiency in petitioners' 1996 Federal income tax in the amount of $3,462 and a section 6651(a)(1) addition to tax in the amount of $866. Unless otherwise indicated, section references are to the Internal Revenue Code in effect for the year in issue, and all Rule references are to the Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure. As admitted by petitioners in the Stipulation of Facts, with respect to their untimely 1996 Federal income tax return, Mrs. Labato underreported income from her employment by Marriott International, Inc., and totally omitted income from Columbia Park Medical Center; petitioners failed to report some of their interest income from a bank; and each petitioner underreported Social Security benefits each received in 1996. Respondent concedes that petitioners are not liable for the additional tax of $2,118 on an early distribution from a qualified pension. This Court must decide whether petitioners are liable for the addition to tax under section 6651(a)(1) for failure to timely file their tax return.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 Next
