- 3 - Background The record establishes and/or the parties do not dispute the following. A. Petitioner’s Failure To File Petitioner has a history of failing to file Federal income tax returns. Specifically, petitioner failed to file a Federal income tax return for 1992. B. Respondent’s Notice of Deficiency On December 28, 1994, respondent issued a notice of deficiency to petitioner. In the notice, respondent determined, in pertinent part, a deficiency in petitioner’s Federal income tax for 1992 in the amount of $15,402, an addition to tax under section 6651(a)(1) for failure to timely file a tax return in the amount of $4,544.60, and an addition to tax under section 6654(a) for failure to pay estimated tax in the amount of $635.78.2 The deficiency was based principally on respondent’s determination that petitioner failed to report: (1) Wage income in the amount of $16,936 (as reported to respondent on Form W-2 by Granite Construction Co.); (2) nonemployee compensation in the amount of $43,624; and (3) unemployment compensation in the amount of $6,095 (as reported to respondent on Form 1099-G). 2 Although the notice of deficiency also sets forth respondent’s determination of deficiencies in petitioner’s Federal income taxes for 1990 and 1991, we are concerned in this proceeding only with petitioner’s liability for 1992.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Next
