          divorced.                                                                   
               On December 26, 2001, petitioner filed a Form 8857, Request            
          for Innocent Spouse Relief.  Respondent issued petitioner a final           
          notice dated March 27, 2002, denying petitioner relief from joint           
          and several liability under section 6015(b), (c), and (f).

               We received your request more than two years after the                 
               date we began collection activity.  IRC Sections

               Innocent Spouse claims to be filed no later than two                   
               years after the start of collection activity after July                
               22, 1998.  The date of collection activity on your                     
               account, after the enactment if [sic] IRC Section 6015                 
               was 2/22/99.                                                           

               2  Respondent also applied both Mr. Hyatt’s overpayment of             
          tax for the 2001 taxable year and Mr. Hyatt’s payments under an             
          installment agreement to offset the outstanding liability                   
          associated with the 1993 joint return.
