- 6 - When petitioner failed to call or to send any documents by facsimile or otherwise, Mr. Tracy closed the case on December 29, 2003. Respondent on January 8, 2004, issued to petitioner the aforementioned Notice of Determination Concerning Collection Action(s) Under Section 6320 and/or 6330, sustaining the proposed levy action. An attachment to the notice addressed the verification of legal and procedural requirements, the issues raised by the taxpayer, and the balancing of efficient collection and intrusiveness. According to the attachment, petitioner “presented only frivolous arguments and no relevant issues.” Petitioner’s petition disputing the notice of determination was filed with the Court on February 13, 2004, and reflected an address in Prescott, Arizona. In general, petitioner asks that the Court declare invalid the notice of determination. Petitioner’s complaints with respect to the administrative proceedings include the following: No legitimate hearing under section 6330 ever took place; petitioner was denied the opportunity to raise issues he deemed “relevant” (e.g., the “existence” of the underlying tax liability); and cited documentation had not been produced and/or addressed (e.g., record of the assessments, statutory notice and demand for payment, any “valid notice of deficiency”, and verification from the Secretary that all applicable requirements were met). Petitioner prays that this Court declare invalid the January 8,Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 Next
