          1994.  Petitioner timely submitted to respondent a Form 12153,              
          Request for a Collection Due Process Hearing, covering the                  
          foregoing years.  On the Form 12153, petitioner alleged that the            
          proposed levy was invalid for the following reasons:                        
               The United States of America has no valid Constitutional               
               authority to levy any income tax, or self-employment tax, or           
               interest or penalties on those taxes.  The 16th Amendment,             
               which appears to grant such authority, is contrary and                 
               repugnant to the 10th amendment which allocated 100 percent            
               of all possible rights and powers at the time of its                   
               adoption. Any increase in Federal power at the expense                 
               of either individual rights or states rights is a                      
               violation of the 10th amendment.                                       
               On May 20, 2003, a face-to-face meeting with petitioner was            
          held by an Appeals officer.                                                 
               On May 29, 2003, respondent issued a Notice of Determination           
          Concerning Collection Action(s) Under Section 6320 and/or 6330,             
          with respect to petitioner's unpaid liabilities for 1991, 1992,             
          1993, and 1994.  The notice of determination noted that                     
          petitioner offered no collection alternatives and presented                 
          arguments concerning the underlying tax liabilities that could              
          not be considered, given that petitioner had received a statutory           
          notice of deficiency with respect to the liabilities.  The notice           
          concluded that the proposed levy properly balanced the efficient            
          collection of the liabilities with any concerns regarding the               
          intrusiveness of the action and that respondent could proceed               
          with collection.  The notice also advised petitioner of the Tax             
          Court's authority to impose a penalty under section 6673 where
