               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.
