- 10 - case for consideration and that he would contact petitioner to schedule an Appeals Office hearing. On February 28, 2000, Appeals Officer Federico Lawrence (Mr. Lawrence) sent petitioner a letter indicating that he had received petitioner’s case for consideration and that he would contact petitioner to schedule an Appeals Office hearing. On June 20, 2000, Mr. Lawrence sent a letter to petitioner (Mr. Lawrence’s June 20, 2000 letter), in which he stated: Attached, [sic] for your information is a copy of Form W-4 for the taxable year 1988. Line 7 of the document states as follow[s]: “Are you a full time student? (Note: Full-time stu- dents are not automatically exempt.)” I was not able to locate a copy of the Form W-4 for 1987 but I assumed it would be identical to the 1988 W- 4 Form. Also, 1988 was the year you incurred largest liability. Our records show the outstanding balance for taxable year 1988 to be $5,019.81, as of May 1999. This amount includes accrued interest and penalties. Line 6 of Form W-4, Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certif- icate (Form W-4), for 1987, which, according to Mr. Lawrence’s June 20, 2000 letter, he was unable to locate, provided: 6 I claim exemption from withholding because (see Step 2 above and check boxes below that apply): a G Last year I did not owe any Federal income tax and had a right to a full refund of ALL income tax withheld, AND b G This year I do not expect to owe any Federal income tax and expect to have a right to a full refund of ALL income tax withheld.
