                                        - 2 -                                         
               Respondent argues that the underlying tax liability in                 
          question is employment taxes and that this Court’s lack of                  
          jurisdiction over the underlying tax liability negates our                  
          jurisdiction under section 6330(d)(1)(B).  Petitioner counters              
          that this Court does have jurisdiction to review the status of              
          employees pursuant to section 7436 and reasons that we do have              
          jurisdiction of the underlying tax liability in question.                   
          However, petitioner concedes that the employment tax liabilities            
          which are the subject of respondent’s collection efforts do not             
          involve the redetermination of the employment status of                     
          individuals.                                                                
               The issue before us is whether we have jurisdiction to                 
          review respondent’s determination regarding collection action of            
          employment tax liabilities.  As explained in more detail below,             
          because this Court does not have jurisdiction of the underlying             
          tax liability, respondent’s motion will be granted.                         
                                     Background                                       
               On May 10, 2005, respondent issued a Notice of Determination           
          Concerning Collection Action(s) Under Section 6320 and/or 6330              
          (notice of determination).  The notice of determination sustained           
          a proposed notice of levy attempting to collect employment tax              
          liabilities and penalties related to Forms 941, Employer’s                  


               1(...continued)                                                        
          effect at all relevant times.
