                                       - 17 -                                         
                              (A) of the kind and for the periods                     
                         specified in section 507(a)(2) or 507(a)(8)                  
                         of this title, whether or not a claim for                    
                         such tax was filed or allowed;                               
                              (B) with respect to which a return, if                  
                         required–                                                    
                                   (i) was not filed; or                              
                                   (ii) was filed after the date on                   
                              which such return was last due,                         
                              under applicable law or under any                       
                              extension, and after two years                          
                              before the date of the filing of                        
                              the petition; or                                        
                              (C) with respect to which the debtor                    
                         made a fraudulent return or willfully                        
                         attempted in any manner to evade or                          
                         defeat such tax;                                             
          The use of the term “dischargeable” in the first paragraph of the           
          bankruptcy court’s discharge order requires application of this             
          category to determine whether the unpaid liabilities of                     
          petitioner were dischargeable because there is no evidence in the           
          record that the bankruptcy court specifically determined that the           
          unpaid liabilities were to be discharged.  We reviewed a similar            
          bankruptcy court order in Washington v. Commissioner, supra, and            
          reached the same conclusion.9  Accordingly, we must decide                  

               9The bankruptcy court’s order in Washington v. Commissioner,           
          120 T.C. 114 at 116 (2003), provided:                                       
               IT IS ORDERED THAT:                                                    
               1.   The Debtor is released from all dischargeable                     
                    debts.                                                            
                                                             (continued...)
