                                     Background                                       
               This is an appeal from respondent’s determination upholding            
          the proposed use of a levy to collect petitioners’ unpaid Federal           
          income tax liabilities for 2001 and 2002.  Petitioners resided in           
          Oakhurst, Oklahoma, when the petition was filed.                            
               On July 2, 2005, respondent sent petitioners a Final Notice            
          of Intent to Levy and Notice of Your Right to a Hearing for the             
          years at issue.  Petitioners timely submitted a Form 12153,                 
          Request for a Collection Due Process Hearing.  In their request,            
          petitioners asserted that a levy would be “devastating” and                 
          requested payment of their tax liabilities through an installment           
          agreement.                                                                  
               On September 13, 2005, respondent sent petitioners a letter            
          acknowledging petitioners’ request for a section 6330 hearing.              
          On May 1, 2006, Settlement Officer Greg Clark (Officer Clark)               
          sent petitioners a letter scheduling a telephone conference on              
          May 23, 2006, to discuss collection alternatives.  In addition,             
          Officer Clark requested that petitioners produce a Form 433-A,              
          Collection Information Statement for Wage Earners and Self-                 
          Employed Individuals (Form 433-A); Form 1040, U.S. Individual               
          Income Tax Return, for 2004 and 2005 (returns); proof of                    
          estimated payments for 2005 and 2006; and copies of bank                    
          statements for all accounts in petitioners’ name or held for                
          their benefit for the most current 3 months (bank statements).
