Whether respondent’s determination to proceed with collection with respect to petitioner’s 1993 and 1994 tax years was an abuse of discretion. We hold that it was not. 3. Whether petitioner is liable for a penalty under section 6673. We hold that she is, in the amount of $2,500. Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code in effect for the applicable years. FINDINGS OF FACT Some of the facts have been stipulated and are so found. Petitioner resided in Charlotte, North Carolina, when she filed the petition in this case. A.
