                                       - 12 -                                         
          6015(f), petitioner should move this Court to amend her petition            
          to assert that specific allegation.  Respondent, of course, would           
          then be given an opportunity to challenge petitioner’s motion.              
               Pursuant to the plain statutory language contained in                  
          section 6015, our jurisdiction in a “stand alone” case brought              
          pursuant to section 6015(e) is limited to reviewing respondent’s            
          denial of relief from an existing joint and several tax liability           
          under subsections (b), (c), and (f) of section 6015.  The                   
          timeliness of the assessment of the underlying liability is not             
          an independent ground for relief under section 6015.  We have no            
          jurisdiction over the issue petitioner wants to raise in her                
          proposed amendment to the petition.  Accordingly, her motion for            
          leave to amend her petition is denied.                                      


                                             An appropriate order denying             
                                        petitioner’s motion for leave to              
                                        amend her petition will be issued.
