          Section 6330(d):  Jurisdiction                                              
               Our collection action review jurisdiction is set forth in              
          section 6330(d).  Section 6330(d) provides:  “(1) Judicial Review           
          of Determination.--The person may, within 30 days of a                      
          determination under this section, appeal such determination--(A)            
          to the Tax Court (and the Tax Court shall have jurisdiction with            
          respect to such matter)”.  The requirements for exercising our              
          jurisdiction under section 6330 are that “we have general                   
          jurisdiction over the type of tax involved, a ‘determination’ by            
          Appeals and a timely [filed] petition”.  Lunsford v.                        
          Commissioner, 117 T.C. 159, 161 (2001).                                     
               Petitioner filed a timely petition with the Court in this              
          case in response to the notice of determination.  Accordingly, we           
          have jurisdiction over petitioner’s case, and the instant                   
          controversy is within the jurisdiction of the Court.  Id.; see              
          Woods v. Commissioner, 92 T.C. 776, 787 (1989).  Once a taxpayer            
          invokes the jurisdiction of the Court, jurisdiction lies with the           
          Court and remains unimpaired until the Court has decided the                
          controversy.  Naftel v. Commissioner, 85 T.C. 527, 529-530                  
          (1985); Dorl v. Commissioner, 57 T.C. 720, 722 (1972), affd. 507            
          F.2d 406 (2d Cir. 1974).
