126 T.C. No. 19 UNITED STATES TAX COURT PEOPLE PLACE AUTO HAND CARWASH, LLC, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent Docket No. 10708-05. Filed June 14, 2006. P is a limited liability company (LLC) owned and operated by H and W. When P filed this action for redetermination of employment status, H and W were debtors in bankruptcy. Held: Because this proceeding concerns P’s employment tax liabilities and not the tax liabilities of H and W, the automatic stay provision of 11 U.S.C. 362(a)(8) (2000) does not apply to this proceeding. Held, further, consideration of equitable relief pursuant to 11 U.S.C. sec. 105(a) (2000) properly lies with the Bankruptcy Court rather than the Tax Court. Larry Conway (a member), for petitioner. Donna Mayfield Palmer, for respondent.Page: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Next
