          (2) a levy on petitioner’s account at the Lockheed Credit Union.7           
               3.  Petitioner’s Claim for Abatement of Interest                       
               Using Form 843, petitioner filed with respondent on or about           
          September 4, 1998, a Claim for Refund and Request for Abatement.            
          In her claim, petitioner requested that interest on her 1994                
          deficiency in income tax be abated or refunded because of “IRS              
          errors or delay”.                                                           
               See infra subdivision E of our Findings of Fact regarding              
          action by respondent on petitioner’s claim for abatement of                 
          interest.                                                                   
          D.  The Taxable Year 1995                                                   
               1.  Petitioner’s 1995 Tax Return and Notice of Deficiency              
               Petitioner timely filed a Federal income tax return for                
          1995.  See sec. 6072(a).                                                    
               In or about October 1996, petitioner was notified in writing           
          of the examination of her 1995 income tax return through the                
          receipt of an examination report dated October 4, 1996.  The                
          examination report proposed a deficiency in income tax of $9,698.           
          The proposed deficiency was principally attributable to the                 
          disallowance of the deduction claimed by petitioner for gifts to            
          family members of $37,510.                                                  



               7  A credit balance in petitioner’s account with respondent,           
          which was attributable to an excess of proceeds received through            
          the levy, was refunded to petitioner on Apr. 28, 1997.
