- 2 - this opinion shall not be treated as precedent for any other case. This case arises from a request for relief under section 6015(f) with respect to petitioner’s 2002 taxable year. Respondent determined petitioner was not entitled to any relief from joint and several liability under section 6015(f). Petitioner timely filed a petition seeking review of respondent’s determination.2 The issue for decision is whether respondent’s denial of relief under section 6015(f) was an abuse of discretion. Background Some of the facts have been stipulated. We incorporate the stipulated facts into our findings by this reference. Petitioner resided in Loveland, Colorado, when her petition in this case was filed. 2Respondent filed a motion to dismiss this case for lack of jurisdiction in which he contended that the Tax Court did not have jurisdiction to review respondent’s denial of relief under sec. 6015(f) in nondeficiency cases. However, in response to an order to show cause dated Jan. 5, 2007, respondent concedes that the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006, Pub. L. 109-432, div. C, sec. 408(a), (c), 120 Stat. 3061, 3062, amended sec. 6015(e)(1) to confer jurisdiction on the Court over stand-alone requests for equitable relief under sec. 6015(f), effective for tax liabilities arising or remaining unpaid on or after Dec. 20, 2006, and requests that his motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction be denied. An appropriate order denying the motion will be issued in accordance with respondent’s request.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 NextLast modified: November 10, 2007
