                                        - 6 -                                         
               levy is the appropriate collection action which                        
               balances the need for efficient collection of the tax                  
               with any concerns you may have as to the intrusiveness                 
               of the action.                                                         
               In response to the Notice, petitioner filed his petition in            
          this case.  In his petition, petitioner alleges that the amounts            
          of the underlying tax liability and the years are:                          
                           Year                Amount                                 
                           1993              $8,600.09                                
                           1994              3,961.31                                 
                           1995              801.89                                   
                           1996              901.10                                   
                           Total             14,264.39                                

               Petitioner claimed a credit “from a prior year overpayment             
          to be used to offset, in part if not in full, the liabilities in            
          question.”                                                                  
               In his answer, respondent denied that the levy determination           
          relates to a tax liability for 1996, and asserts that the levy              
          determination relates to petitioner’s unpaid income tax liability           
          for 1997 in the amount of $901.10, including interest and                   
          penalties through March 8, 2000.  Petitioner does not challenge             
          this assertion.                                                             
                                       OPINION                                        
          I.  Standard of Review                                                      
               Respondent did not send a notice of deficiency to                      
          petitioner.  Petitioner did not otherwise have an opportunity to            
          dispute his tax liability for 1993, 1994, 1995, or 1997.  Thus,
