          relates to the taxable years 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000.  As a              
          basis for the relief requested, the petition states: “I’m in the            
          process of having my previous tax returns reviewed by another               
          CPA.  I also would like a settlement on my account so that I can            
          begin to move forward.  I have been laid off twice in the past 3            
          years and have some financial hardship.”

               Section 6331(a) provides that if any person liable to pay              
          any tax neglects or refuses to pay such tax within 10 days after
