               This matter is before the Court on respondent’s Motion For             
          Summary Judgment, filed pursuant to Rule 121, as supplemented.              
          Respondent contends that there is no dispute as to any material             
          fact with respect to this levy action and that respondent’s                 
          determination to proceed with collection of petitioners’                    
          outstanding tax liability for the taxable year 2000 should be               
          sustained as a matter of law.                                               
               As explained in detail below, we shall grant respondent’s              
          motion, as supplemented.                                                    
          Background                                                                  
               Petitioners resided in Bonner Springs, Kansas, at the time             
          that the petition was filed with the Court.                                 
               Petitioners timely filed their Form 1040, U.S. Individual              
          Income Tax Return, for 2000.  On their return, petitioners listed           
          their address as 112 Lake Forest, Bonner Springs, Kansas 66012              
          (the Lake Forest address).2                                                 
               Based on information provided by a third-party payor                   
          indicating that petitioners might not have reported all of their            
          income on their 2000 return, respondent commenced an examination            
          of that return.  On April 1, 2002, respondent sent petitioners a            


               2  Petitioners attached to their return a Schedule C, Profit           
          or Loss From Business, that also reflected the Lake Forest                  
          address as the business address of petitioner James L. Geary.  In           
          addition, petitioners attached to their return three Forms W-2,             
          Wage and Tax Statement, each of which showed the Lake Forest                
          address as petitioner Carol O. Geary’s address.
