- 2 - Background The record establishes and/or the parties do not dispute the following: At the time the petition for lien or levy action under section 6320(c) or 6330(d)1 was filed, petitioner resided in Far Rockaway, New York. Respondent’s transcripts for petitioner’s taxable years 1994 and 1996 indicate that he did not file a Federal income tax return (return) for either of those years and that respondent prepared a substitute for return for each such year. On a date not disclosed by the record, respondent mailed to petitioner a notice of deficiency (notice) with respect to his taxable years 1994 and 1996. The U.S. Postal Service (Postal Service) returned that notice to respondent because petitioner no longer resided at the address for petitioner shown on the envelope in which the notice was mailed and petitioner’s request to the Postal Service to forward his mail to a new address had expired. On October 11, 1999, respondent assessed the Federal income tax (tax) due for each of the petitioner’s taxable years 1994 and 1996, as shown in the substitute for return for each such year that respondent had prepared, and issued notices and demands for payment of such taxes. 1All section references are to sections of the Internal Revenue Code in effect at all relevant times.
