                                        - 2 -                                         
          The decision to be entered is not reviewable by any other court,            
          and this opinion should not be cited as authority.                          
               Respondent determined a deficiency of $4,135 in petitioner’s           
          Federal income tax for the year 2001.  Petitioner does not                  
          challenge the deficiency.  This case arises from petitioner’s               
          election to seek relief from joint and several liability for                
          Federal income tax for the year 2001 under section 6015(b), (c),            
          and (f).  Respondent determined that petitioner is not entitled             
          to relief.  The sole issue for decision is whether petitioner is            
          entitled to relief under section 6015(b), (c), and (f).                     
               Some of the facts were stipulated.  Those facts, with the              
          exhibits annexed thereto, are so found and made part hereof.                
          Petitioner’s legal residence at the time the petition was filed             
          was Altamont, Utah.                                                         
               During the year at issue, petitioner was married to Forrest            
          Bird (intervenor).  Petitioner and intervenor were married in               
          1997.  Each had been married previously.  Petitioner has three              
          sons from her prior marriage, and intervenor has one son and one            
          daughter from his prior marriage.  All the children were grown              
          and living outside their parent’s home during the year at issue.            
          Petitioner and intervenor separated in July 2003, and their                 
          divorce was finalized on November 13, 2003.                                 
               Petitioner is a licensed practical nurse (LPN).  She                   
          received her training at Weaver State College and is currently an
