                                        - 68 -                                        
          found that the legal obligation positive factor set forth in                
          section 4.03(1)(e) of Revenue Procedure 2000-15 is a neutral                
          factor in this case.  On the record before us, we find that the             
          legal obligation negative factor set forth in section 4.03(2)(f)            
          of that revenue procedure is a neutral factor in this case.                 
               On the record before us, we find that petitioner has failed            
          to carry her burden of establishing any other factors with respect          
          to the taxable years at issue that are not set forth in Revenue             
          Procedure 2000-15 and that weigh in favor of granting her relief            
          under section 6015(f).                                                      
               Based upon our examination of the entire record before us, we          
          find that petitioner has failed to carry her burden of establish-           
          ing that respondent abused respondent’s discretion in denying her           
          relief under section 6015(f) with respect to any of the taxable             
          years at issue.                                                             
               We have considered all of the contentions and arguments of             
          the parties that are not discussed herein, and we find them to be           
          without merit, irrelevant, and/or moot.                                     
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              
                                             Decision will be entered                 
                                        for respondent.
