          collection of petitioner’s 1999 and 2000 Federal income tax                 
          liabilities.2                                                               
                                     Background                                       
               The parties submitted this case fully stipulated under Rule            
          122.  We incorporate the stipulated facts and accompanying                  
          exhibits into our findings by this reference.  Petitioner resided           
          in Mill Valley, California, when she filed the petition.                    
               For the taxable year 1990 through the taxable year 2000,               
          petitioner failed to pay the amounts of tax shown as due on her             
          returns.  On February 10, 2002, respondent sent to petitioner a             
          Final Notice - Notice of Intent to Levy and Notice of Your Right            
          to a Hearing for the taxable years 1990 through 2000.  On or                
          about March 11, 2002,3 petitioner submitted Form 12153, Request             
          for a Collection Due Process Hearing, requesting a hearing under            
          section 6330 with respect to the taxable years 1990 through 2000.           
          In pertinent part, petitioner’s Form 12153 stated:                          
               The taxpayer has prepared, and is prepared to submit,                  
               an Offer-In-Compromise based on doubt as to liability,                 
               doubt as to collectability, and effective tax                          


               2The parties agree that petitioner’s income tax liabilities            
          for the taxable years 1990 through 1998 were discharged in                  
          bankruptcy.  Although the parties’ briefs indicate disagreement             
          as to whether the discharge order applied to petitioner’s 1999              
          income tax liability, petitioner has not raised the issue before            
          this Court.                                                                 
               3Although the parties stipulated that petitioner submitted             
          her Form 12153 on Mar. 11, 2002, both the second page of                    
          petitioner’s Form 12153 and petitioner’s representative’s                   
          signature on the first page are dated Mar. 12, 2002.
