- 5 - period during which the hearing and appeals thereof are pending. Sec. 6330(e)(1). The deficiencies and additions to tax for 1988 and 1989 were assessed on May 2, 1994. These assessments were timely because, in light of petitioner’s failure to file returns for these years, pursuant to section 6501(c)(3) respondent could assess the taxes for 1988 and 1989 at any time. Respondent sought to levy on petitioner’s property on or about May 6, 2002--well within the 10-year period of limitations. On May 30, 2002, the period of limitations on collection for 1988 and 1989 was suspended by petitioner’s hearing request. Sec. 6330(e)(1). The period of limitations on collection for 1988 and 1989 remains suspended during this proceeding. Id. Accordingly, the period of limitations on collection for 1988 and 1989 has not expired. Petitioner has failed to raise a spousal defense, make a valid challenge to the appropriateness of respondent’s intended collection action, or offer alternative means of collection. These issues are now deemed conceded. See Rule 331(b)(4). To reflect the foregoing, Decision will be entered for respondent.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5
