irregularity in the assessment procedure that would raise a
question about the validity of the assessments, a Form 4340
reflecting that tax liabilities were assessed and remain unpaid
is sufficient to support collection action under section 6330.
Id. at 40-41. We have specifically held that it is not an abuse
of discretion for an Appeals officer to rely on Form 4340, Nestor
v. Commissioner, supra at 166; Davis v. Commissioner, supra at
41, or a computer transcript of account, Schroeder v.
Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 2002-190; Mann v. Commissioner, T.C.
Memo. 2002-48, to comply with section 6330(c)(1).
Here, the record contains a Form 4340 for 2000, dated August
11, 2003, indicating that assessments were made for the year and
that taxes remain unpaid. Petitioner has cited no irregularities
that would cast doubt on the information recorded thereon.
In addition to the specific dictates of section 6330, the
Secretary, upon request, is directed to furnish to the taxpayer a
copy of pertinent parts of the record of assessment setting forth
the taxpayer’s name, the date of assessment, the character of the
liability assessed, the taxable period, if applicable, and the
amounts assessed. Sec. 6203; sec. 301.6203-1, Proced. & Admin.
Regs. A taxpayer receiving a copy of Form 4340 has been provided
with all the documentation to which he or she is entitled under
section 6203 and section 301.6203-1, Proced. & Admin. Regs.
