                                     Background                                       
               By notice of determination dated March 4, 2004, respondent             
          determined that, pursuant to section 6330,1 he could proceed to             
          collect by levy the following income tax liabilities:                       
               Tax year                      Unpaid income tax liability              
               1992                             $24,288.47                            
              1993                              11,297.73                            
               1994                               12,000.59                           
               1995                                    3,530.29                       
               1996                                    8,788.57                       
               1997                                    4,199.26                       
               1998                                    2,055.46                       
               1999                                  814.34                           
          Total                                   66,974.71                           
               On March 12, 2004, petitioner mailed a letter to the Court,            
          which we filed on March 16, 2004, as petitioner’s imperfect                 
          petition.  Because the imperfect petition did not meet the                  
          requirements of Rule 331(b), the Court ordered petitioner to file           
          a proper amended petition by May 3, 2004.  On April 26, 2004, the           
          Court filed petitioner’s amended petition seeking review of                 
          respondent’s determination to proceed by levy with collection of            
          petitioner’s Federal income tax liabilities and seeking a                   
          redetermination of petitioner’s employment status2 with respect             

               1All Rule references are to the Tax Court Rules of Practice            
          and Procedure, and all section references are to the Internal               
          Revenue Code in effect at all relevant times.                               
               2Although petitioner checked the box on the petition form              
          indicating that his petition was for a redetermination of                   
          employment status, petitioner appears to have done so as a result           
          of a misunderstanding.  Petitioner is appealing respondent’s                
                                                             (continued...)
