Janet H. Krasner, Petitioner, and Paul Krasner , Intervenor - Page 59

                                       - 59 -                                         
          (1) that the five incident reports prepared by officers of the              
          Haverford police department would have reflected petitioner’s               
          claims of such alleged drug and alcohol abuse and such alleged              
          aberrant behavior and abusive treatment and (2) that petitioner             
          would have made complaints to the Haverford police department               
          alleging such matters well before she made her first complaint on           
          December 18, 1999.                                                          
               On the record before us, we find that petitioner has failed            
          to carry her burden of showing that the abuse positive factor set           
          forth in section 4.03(1)(c) of Revenue Procedure 2000-15 is                 
          present here.                                                               
               With respect to the legal obligation positive factor set               
          forth in section 4.03(1)(e) of Revenue Procedure 2000-15, peti-             
          tioner concedes that as of the time of the trial in this case               
          there was no legal obligation for Mr. Krasner to pay any tax due            
          for taxable year 1998.  Respondent concedes that as of that time            
          there was no legal obligation for petitioner to pay any tax due             
          for that year.31  On the record before us, we find that the legal           
          obligation positive factor is a neutral factor in this case.                
               With respect to the attribution positive factor set forth in           
          section 4.03(1)(f) of Revenue Procedure 2000-15, respondent                 
          concedes that the unpaid 1998 liability is solely attributable to           


               31As of the time of the trial in this case, there was no               
          final divorce decree or agreement in which a court addressed who            
          was to pay any tax due for taxable year 1998.  See infra note 33.
