- 4 - determined an increase in petitioner’s income tax of $2,983. The increased income tax amount of $2,983 was also reflected on the Waiver Statement and the Notice of Deficiency Statement. Petitioner filed a petition with the Court, attaching an 8- page statement that included a “detailed explanation of disagreement” with respondent’s determinations and a request for a finding that the notice of deficiency is invalid on its face. Respondent filed a Motion To Strike Portions Of The Petition, requesting the Court to strike various sentences in paragraphs 1 through 7 of petitioner’s statement attached to the petition. Respondent asserts that the language sought to be stricken in the petition is not proper, does not comply with the Rules, and makes frivolous, vague, and immaterial allegations and assertions with no factual basis. Petitioner’s Opposition To Respondent’s Motion To Strike Portions Of The Petition was filed claiming respondent’s motion has no merit. Petitioner claims that each paragraph in the petition contains a clear and concise assignment of error committed by respondent. Further, petitioner contends that respondent misinterprets Rule 34(b) to require that “each and every sentence of the petition be enumerated” and asserts that respondent moves to strike portions of the petition solely on that misunderstanding.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Next
