          Mr. Cable also notified petitioner that he could pay this amount            
          in full or in monthly installments.  Petitioner told Mr. Cable              
          that petitioner was unable to pay the balance in full at that               
          time or to enter into an installment agreement.  Petitioner had             
          previously paid to the Commissioner at least $62,000 with respect           
          to subject year taxes by borrowing the money, and he was making             
          monthly payments on that debt while living on a fixed income.               
               On November 3, 1999, Appeals mailed to petitioner a Notice             
          of Determination Concerning Collection Action(s) under Section              
          6320 and/or 6330.  The notice stated that petitioner’s Federal              
          income tax liability for the subject years was the $8,422.16                
          referenced above.                                                           
               Petitioner petitioned the Court on December 2, 1999, to                
          review respondent’s determination.  The petition contains no                
          allegation of error as to respondent’s determination.  Petitioner           
          alleges in the petition that he has already paid his income tax             
          liability for the subject years (exclusive of interest and                  
          penalties), that he lives on a “fixed income”, and that he has              
          “taken out a second mortgage to clear this debt, which has caused           
          me to be over-extended and behind with all my creditors”.                   
          Petitioner requested in his petition that the Court waive the               
          $8,422.16.  Petitioner asked the Court at trial, as an                      
          alternative to waiving that amount, to allow him to meet with a             
          collection officer to discuss that amount.
