                                         -6-                                          
          each of her taxable years 1993 through 1996 and that she is                 
          entitled to a refund of such overpaid tax for each such year as             
          well as interest on each such claimed overpayment.  Respondent              
          disputes petitioner’s position.  However, it is respondent’s                
          position that the Court may not resolve that dispute.  That is              
          because, according to respondent, the Court does not have juris-            
          diction (1) to determine whether there is an overpayment for each           
          of petitioner’s taxable years 1993 through 1996 or (2) to order a           
          refund or credit of tax for each such year.                                 
               We agree with respondent that this case is moot.  Respondent           
          no longer claims that there is an amount of tax due from peti-              
          tioner with respect to any of her taxable years 1993 through                
          19964 and does not intend to pursue any collection action with              
          respect to any of those years.  As for petitioner’s position that           
          there is an overpayment for each of those years for which she is            
          entitled to a refund, we agree with respondent that we do not               
          have jurisdiction in this proceeding to determine whether there             
          is an overpayment or to order a refund or a credit of tax for any           
          of those years.  Greene-Thapedi v. Commissioner, 126 T.C. __                
          (2005).  We shall dismiss this case as moot.5                               

               4With respect to petitioner’s taxable year 1996, respondent            
          offset the amount of tax that respondent maintains is due from              
          petitioner (i.e., $1,143) with overpayments for 1999, 2002, and             
          2003.  See sec. 6402(a).                                                    
               5We have considered all of petitioner’s contentions and                
                                                             (continued...)
