               1It appears that in making his calculations, Officer Clark             
          rounded petitioners’ pension/Social Security amount down and that           
          he rounded petitioners’ tax expense amount up.  Both roundings              
          favor petitioners.                                                          
               On June 20, 2006, Officer Clark and petitioners’                       
          representative held a telephone conference and discussed the                
          income and expenses listed on petitioners’ Form 433-A.  During              
          the conference, Officer Clark agreed to increase petitioners’               
          expenses by $500 per month for additional employment expenses.6             
          Officer Clark offered petitioners an installment agreement with             
          monthly payments of $1,877.                                                 
               On June 22, 2006, Officer Clark sent petitioners’                      
          representative a Form 12257, Summary Notice of Determination,               
          Waiver of Right to Judicial Review of a Collection Due Process              
          Determination, and Waiver of Suspension of Levy Action, and a               
          Form 433-D, Installment Agreement.  On July 6, 2006, Officer                
          Clark telephoned petitioners’ representative to follow up on the            
          installment agreement.  Petitioners’ representative informed                
          Officer Clark that petitioners could not make the proposed                  

               6The increase in employment expenses was for Mrs. Diffee’s             
          meals on the road.
