Federal tax assessments are formally recorded on a record of
assessment. Sec. 6203. “The summary record, through supporting
records, shall provide identification of the taxpayer, the
character of the liability assessed, the taxable period, if
applicable, and the amount of the assessment.” Sec. 301.6203-1,
Proced. & Admin. Regs.
Section 6330(c)(1) does not require the Commissioner to rely
on a particular document to satisfy the verification requirement
imposed therein. Roberts v. Commissioner, 118 T.C. 365, 371 n.10
(2002); Weishan v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 2002-88; Lindsey v.
Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 2002-87; Tolotti v. Commissioner, T.C.
Memo. 2002-86; Duffield v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 2002-53;
Kuglin v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 2002-51. In this regard, we
observe that the transcripts of account on which the Appeals
officer relied contained all the information prescribed in
section 301.6203-1, Proced. & Admin. Regs. See Weishan v.
Commissioner, supra; Lindsey v. Commissioner, supra; Tolotti v.
Commissioner, supra; Duffield v. Commissioner, supra; Kuglin v.
Commissioner, supra.4
4 To the extent that petitioner may still be arguing that
the Appeals officer failed to provide him with a copy of the
verification, we note that sec. 6330(c)(1) does not require that
the Appeals officer provide the taxpayer with a copy of the
verification at the administrative hearing. Nestor v.
Commissioner, 118 T.C. 162, 166 (2002). In any event, the record
shows that petitioner received both a literal transcript and a
Form 4340 for the taxable year 1997.
