- 2 - FINDINGS OF FACT Some of the facts have been stipulated and are so found. The stipulated facts and the accompanying exhibits are incorporated herein by this reference. At the time of the filing of the petition, petitioner resided in Columbia, Maryland. Petitioner filed Federal income tax returns for 1990, 1991, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, and 2002. Because insufficient taxes were withheld or paid with respect to those returns, respondent assessed the following income tax liabilities:1 1Petitioner does not dispute the underlying liabilities that are the subject of the instant proceeding. Those liabilities were set forth in respondent’s Form 4340, Certificate of Assessments and Payments, for each of the taxable years in issue. Respondent appears to have computed these liabilities by subtracting petitioner’s payments, withholding, and excess FICA from the sum of petitioner’s income tax, estimated tax penalty, late filing penalty, failure to pay penalty, interest, and fees/collection costs. We note that respondent’s trial memorandum reported the liability for petitioner’s 1996 taxable year as $6,648 rather than $6,448. The record demonstrates that additional interest, penalties, and additions to tax accumulated subsequent to the initial assessments. As of June 2, 2004, respondent determined that petitioner owed aggregate interest of $56,540 and penalties/additions to tax of $13,754.57.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Next
