          her unpaid tax liabilities for the years 1989 through 1992.3                
          There is no dispute that the above-described notices of intent to           
          levy were mailed to petitioners’ last known address.  See sec.              
          6330(a)(2)(C).  Both of the above-described notices of intent to            
          levy stated in pertinent part:  “If you don’t pay the amount you            
          owe, make alternative arrangements to pay, or request Appeals               
          consideration within 30 days from the date of this letter, we may           
          take your property”.                                                        
               On May 10, 1999, petitioners filed with the Internal Revenue           
          Service Office of Appeals (Appeals Office) a joint request for a            
          collection hearing, Form 12153, with respect to their tax                   
          liabilities for the years 1987 through 1992 and 1997.  Although             
          the Appeals Office concluded that petitioner Dudley Moorhous                
          failed to file his request for a hearing within the time                    
          prescribed in section 6330, the Appeals Office granted petitioner           
          Dudley Moorhous a so-called equivalent hearing.  See sec.                   
          301.6330-1T(i), Temporary Proced. & Admin. Regs., 64 Fed. Reg.              
          3413 (Jan. 22, 1999).                                                       
               On October 6, 2000, the Appeals Office issued to petitioner            
          Dudley Moorhous a “decision letter” stating that respondent would           



               3  The notice of intent to levy stated that petitioner                 
          Dorothy Moorhous owed amounts from prior notices, additional                
          penalties, and interest totaling $17,909.98, $10,266.83,                    
          $9,980.32, and $19,400.89, for the years 1989, 1990, 1991, and              
          1992, respectively.
