               On November 26, 2002, the settlement officer who conducted             
          the administrative hearing sent petitioners a letter inviting               
          petitioners to discuss an installment agreement.  Thereafter,               
          petitioner twice informed the settlement officer that he would              
          provide additional financial information in connection with an              
          installment agreement, but petitioner never did so.                         
               On January 10, 2003, respondent issued to petitioners a                
          Notice of Determination Concerning Collection Action(s) Under               
          Section 6320 and/or 6330.  In the notice of determination,                  
          respondent determined, in pertinent part:  (1) The filing of the            
          tax lien notice was sustained because the 1994 tax liability                
          remained unpaid; (2) the notice of intent to levy was sustained             
          because respondent could not reach an installment agreement with            
          petitioners, and (3) all applicable laws and administrative                 
          procedures had been satisfied.                                              
               On August 12, 2003, respondent filed a motion for summary              
          judgment.  On November 3, 2003, the motion was denied and the               
          case was remanded to respondent’s Appeals Office for                        
          reconsideration regarding whether petitioners had fully paid                
          their 1994 tax liability.                                                   
               On November 20, 2003, respondent revoked the release of the            
          tax lien notice.  In December 2003, respondent’s settlement                 
          officer offered petitioners the opportunity for a further                   
          administrative hearing, but petitioners did not respond.  On
