- 3 - Background Some of the facts have been stipulated and are so found. The stipulation of facts and the exhibits received into evidence are incorporated herein by reference. At the time the petition in this case was filed, petitioner resided in Elk Grove, California. Petitioner failed to timely file a Federal income tax return for tax year 1999. Respondent determined petitioner’s income on the basis of information returns submitted to respondent by third party payors. Respondent also determined that petitioner is liable for additions to tax. 1. Procedural History After respondent issued petitioner a statutory notice of deficiency, petitioner submitted a tax return for 1999 reflecting most, but not all, of the unreported income determined in the notice of deficiency. Petitioner also claimed deductions for capital loss carryforwards and rental expenses. Respondent has not processed this tax return, and no tax has been assessed as a result of petitioner’s submitting the tax return. Petitioner submitted to the Court a letter challenging the notice of deficiency, and the Court filed it as petitioner’s imperfect petition. Because the letter did not comply fully with the requirements of Rule 34, by order the Court directed petitioner to file a proper amended petition.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 Next
