          additional penalty and interest in the total amount of $59,182.             
          Respondent concedes that we have jurisdiction over respondent’s             
          proposed tax lien filings relating to petitioner’s unpaid Federal           
          income taxes for 1984 through 1987 and for 1996.                            
               Unless otherwise indicated, all section references are to              
          the Internal Revenue Code in effect for the years in issue.                 
               The controlling issue before us on respondent’s instant                
          motion for partial dismissal involves whether respondent mailed             
          the notice of intent to levy to petitioner at petitioner’s last             
          known address.  This fact issue turns on whether the receipt by             
          respondent from petitioner -- 32 days before respondent mailed to           
          petitioner the notice of intent to levy -- of an incomplete tax             
          return established that petitioner had a new address to which               
          respondent should have mailed the notice of intent to levy.                 

                                  FINDINGS OF FACT                                    
               On petitioner’s original and amended Federal income tax                
          returns for 1986 through 1997, as filed with respondent, the                
          mailing address of petitioner was indicated as 2550 East Desert             
          Inn Road, Apartment 201, Las Vegas, Nevada 89121 (Desert Inn                
          address).  The Desert Inn address constitutes the address of                
          Mailbox, Etc., a retail store that provides post office boxes and           
          other mail services to paying customers, of whom petitioner was             
          one.
