gross income of $80,090.
The Appeals officer did not contest the business loss of
$82,592 from Schedule C that was claimed in petitioner’s 1999
return or the amount of the reduction in petitioner’s unpaid 1998
liability that petitioner claimed as a result of such claimed
loss.
By letter dated February 24, 2003 (February 24, 2003 let-
ter), the Appeals officer notified petitioner that the 1999
return had posted and had reduced petitioner’s unpaid 1998
liability to approximately $29,000. The February 24, 2003 letter
stated in pertinent part:
the amount you still owe [for taxable year 1998] is
approximately $29,000.00. While this is a lot better
than the $49,000.00 you owed when we started out, I
don’t believe you are in a financial position to pay
the remaining liability. Since you still have out-
standing returns that have not been filed, I cannot
enter into any type of alternate method of collection.
I called the Taxpayer Advocate Office and received the
name and phone numbers of two low income tax prepara-
tion organizations in Dallas -- evidently there is no
counter part in Ft. Worth. You need to get your 2000
and 2001 returns filed and maybe one of these organiza-
tions can help.
