- 6 - On July 30, 2002, the Appeals officer again wrote to petitioner as follows: The Revenue Officer has completed the investigation of your Offer in Compromise submitted as a collection alternative. The investigation reveals that your offer in the amount of $3,763 is not adequate. The financial analysis indicates that your offer should be increased to at least $59,676. I have attached copies of the Asset/Equity Table (AET) and Income/Expense Table (IET) to support this determination. I have also enclosed Form 656 [Offer in Compromise] for you to submit an “amended offer” for $59,676 if this is acceptable to you. If you have any questions or wish to discuss further, please contact me at the telephone number shown above. If I do not receive a response from you, I will assume that you no longer wish to pursue this matter. I will issue my determination based on the available information in your case file. Petitioner did not contact the Appeals officer by telephone, as she had suggested. By letter dated August 14, 2002, mailed August 19, 2002, and received by the Appeals Office on August 20, 2002, petitioner submitted an amended offer in compromise in the amount of $9,756. Petitioner’s transmittal letter indicated that he believed that his options were to appeal within 30 days to the Office of Appeals or to submit another offer, based on instructions in the Form 656 package. Petitioner also suggested that the revenue officer’s method of calculating income did not consider the expenses of running his business, as reflected on his tax returns for 1999, 2000, and 2001.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Next
