               Ms. Flandez also noted that the arguments petitioner                   
          presented to her raised the possibility of asset transfers in an            
          attempt to avoid collection.                                                
               Petitioner also argues that respondent made blanket “pro               
          forma” denials of Hoyt investor section 6015 claims.  We                    
          disagree.  Respondent’s agents assigned to review petitioner’s              
          claim conducted a full, impartial, and fair evaluation of                   
          petitioner’s section 6015 claim.  They reached their conclusions            
          on the basis of the facts and circumstances present in this case.           
          See also Doyel v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 2004-35, in which we             
          further explained the flaws in petitioner’s arguments on this               
          issue.                                                                      
               On the basis of all the facts and circumstances, we conclude           
          that respondent did not abuse his discretion in denying                     
          petitioner relief pursuant to section 6015(f).                              
               In reaching our holdings, we have considered all arguments             
          made by the parties, and, to the extent not mentioned above, we             
          conclude they are irrelevant or without merit.                              
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              
                                                  Decision will be entered            
                                             for respondent.
