          and statutory additions.  Petitioner received the notice.  On               
          January 13, 2002, on Form 12153, Request for a Collection Due               
          Process Hearing, she requested a hearing with respondent’s                  
          Appeals Office for the years 1993 through 1998.4  The request               
          asserted that the respondent's findings were incorrect.  No                 
          spousal defenses or collection alternatives were alleged.                   
               In due course, an Appeals Office hearing was held with                 
          petitioner by telephone on September 10, 2002.  Respondent                  
          thereafter denied relief and issued a Notice of Determination               
          Concerning Collection Actions Under Section 6320 and/or 6330 on             
          October 15, 2002.  The notice summarized the determination as               
          follows:  “Our determination is that the proposed levy action is            
          appropriate.”  An attachment to the notice, Relevant Issues                 
          Presented by the Taxpayer, addressed petitioner’s position as               
          follows:                                                                    

                    The sole issue you raised was that you disagree with              
               the IRS audit assessments.                                             
                    You had a previous opportunity for an Appeals                     
               conference after your administrative claims were denied.               
               Because you had a previous opportunity for an Appeals                  
               conference concerning both liabilities, � 6330 precludes you           
               from challenging the underlying tax liabilities in this                
               case.                                                                  



               4    The petition challenges only the 1993 and 1994 tax                
          liabilities.  The record does not reflect the status of the other           
          years for which petitioner requested a hearing.
