legislative developments relating to our jurisdiction under
section 6015(e)(1) to review such a denial.
We have also made editorial, stylistic, clarifying, and
organizational changes to the Special Trial Judge’s recommended
findings of fact and conclusions of law.
We conclude that the recommended findings of fact and
conclusions of law of Special Trial Judge Stanley J. Goldberg, as

the Court.
This case arose from petitioner’s request for relief under
section 6015 for each of the taxable years 1994, 1995, 1998, and

We further hold that respondent did not abuse respondent’s
discretion in denying petitioner relief under that section for
each of the taxable years 1994, 1995, 1998, and 1999.
