- 6 - Request for a Collection Due Process Hearing; however, respondent treated petitioner’s January 31, 2001, letter as the equivalent of a Form 12153--i.e., as a request for a section 6330 hearing. On February 26, 2001, respondent sent petitioner a letter notifying him that his case had been assigned to an Appeals officer. On March 8, 2001, petitioner responded to respondent’s February 26, 2001, letter with frivolous and groundless arguments. On April 2, 2002, Appeals Officer Donna Chilton invited petitioner to attend a section 6330 hearing with her at 10 a.m. on April 24, 2002, in Anchorage, Alaska. On April 15, 2002, petitioner wrote to Ms. Chilton to advise her that April 24, 2002, was not a convenient time and that he was seeking an attorney to represent him. Petitioner requested that the hearing be held during the week of May 19, 2002, as he would be in Anchorage, Alaska, during that time. Ms. Chilton rescheduled petitioner’s hearing, on the basis of his request, for May 21, 2002. On May 14, 2002, petitioner sent Ms. Chilton a letter in lieu of a face-to-face hearing. Regarding 1994 and 1996, petitioner argued that the assessments were barred by the period of limitations. Regarding 1995 and 1997, petitioner claimed he did not receive any “notices of assessment” for 1995 and 1997 andPage: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Next
