                                 MEMORANDUM OPINION                                   

               WHERRY, Judge:  This case is before the Court on                       
          respondent’s motion for summary judgment pursuant to Rule 121.1             
          The instant proceeding arises from a petition for judicial review           
          filed in response to a Notice of Determination Concerning                   
          Collection Action(s) Under Section 6320 and/or 6330.  The issue             
          for decision is whether respondent may proceed with collection              
          action as so determined.                                                    
                                     Background                                       
               For the taxable year 2001, petitioner filed a joint Form               
          1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, with Scott Perry                   
          Picchiottino (Mr. Picchiottino) on April 15, 2002, reporting a              
          tax liability of $12,629.2  Petitioner and Mr. Picchiottino did             
          not fully pay the liability reflected on the return.  Respondent            
          assessed the liability for 2001 on June 10, 2002.3                          




               1 Unless otherwise indicated, all section references are to            
          the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and all Rule                 
          references are to the Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure.            
               2 One of the documents in the record may indicate that the             
          amount reported on the 2001 return was $12,929.  In any event, a            
          possible discrepancy or ambiguity on this point is immaterial               
          here in that it is clear the amount assessed was only $12,629.              
               3  We note that respondent’s motion for summary judgment               
          contains an apparently inadvertent error in listing the same date           
          for the filing of the return and the assessment of the reported             
          liability.  The attached transcript of account for 2001 shows the           
          correct dates.
