                                        - 9 -                                         
         did not underreport their tax liability on their 2002 return.                
         Petitioner requested relief promptly after the return was filed.             
         Ms. Wilce concluded that there was no fraudulent transfer of                 
         assets or transfer of disqualified assets to petitioner, and                 
         there is no evidence in the record supporting a different                    
         conclusion.  Neither Ms. Wilce nor Ms. Hackmeister claim that                
         petitioner and Mr. Parker filed their 2002 return with a                     
         fraudulent intent, and there is no evidence in the record                    
         supporting such an intent.  Finally, Ms. Hackmeister determined              
         that the income tax liability in question arose from Mr. Parker’s            
         sole proprietorship income, and the administrative record                    
         overwhelmingly supports her conclusion.                                      
              We conclude that petitioner has satisfied the conditions in             
         Rev. Proc. 2003-61, sec. 4.01.                                               
         B.   Rev. Proc. 2003-61, Sec. 4.02                                           
              1.  In general                                                          
              Rev. Proc. 2003-61, sec. 4.02(1), 2003-2 C.B. at 298,                   
         provides that equitable relief will ordinarily be granted as to              
         unpaid liabilities if, in addition to the seven threshold                    
         conditions, each of the following elements is satisfied:                     
                   (a) On the date of the request for relief, the                     
              requesting spouse is no longer married to, or is                        
              legally separated from, the nonrequesting spouse, or                    
              has not been a member of the same household as the                      
              nonrequesting spouse at any time during the 12-month                    
              period ending on the date of the request for relief.
