- 12 - respondent’s Atlanta Service Center advised petitioner of respondent’s intention to abate interest on petitioner’s $2,115 deficiency in income tax for 1993 for the period from August 22, 1996, to July 7, 1997. The letter stated, in part, as follows: After an extensive review of your file, we have determined that the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code Section 6404(e)(1) apply to the following time period and amount: Period: August 22, 1996 to July 7, 1997 Amount: $89.63 The reason for the allowance of this amount is that there was a ministerial delay in associating your reply to the original 30-day letter with the case file. The reply was received in the Atlanta Service Center on August 22, 1996. No action had been taken in regards to this information until the Appeals Officer presented you with a settlement on July 7, 1997. We have therefore abated the accrual of interest on the balance of tax owed after your payment of $1,500.00 (received on August 22, 1996) was applied. Your balance of $615.00 had interest accruals totaling $89.63 for this time period. * * * * * * * * * * The interest abatement only applies to the period shown above. If your claim has not been allowed in full for the time period and amount requested, you may request reconsideration with our Appeals Office. Interest will continue to be charged on any unpaid liability, except for the above abatement period. Subsequently, respondent abated $89.63 of interest on petitioner’s deficiency in income tax for 1993.
