Subs. v. Commissioner, 98 T.C. 518, 520 (1992), affd. 17 F.3d 965
(7th Cir. 1994). Facts are viewed in the light most favorable to
the nonmoving party. Id. However, where a motion for summary
judgment has been properly made and supported by the moving
party, the opposing party may not rest upon mere allegations or
denials contained in that party’s pleadings but must by
affidavits or otherwise set forth specific facts showing that
there is a genuine issue for trial. Rule 121(d).
I. Collection Actions--General Rules
Section 6331(a) authorizes the Commissioner to levy upon all
property and rights to property of a taxpayer where there exists
a failure to pay any tax liability within 10 days after notice
and demand for payment. Sections 6331(d) and 6330 then set forth
procedures generally applicable to afford protections for
taxpayers in such levy situations. Section 6331(d) establishes
the requirement that a person be provided with at least 30 days’
prior written notice of the Commissioner’s intent to levy before
collection may proceed. Section 6331(d) also indicates that this
notification should include a statement of available
administrative appeals. Section 6330(a) expands in several
respects upon the premise of section 6331(d), forbidding
collection by levy until the taxpayer has received notice of the
opportunity for administrative review of the matter in the form
of a hearing before the IRS Office of Appeals. Section 6330(b)
