               SUMMARY                                                                
               You requested a hearing under IRC 6320 to dispute the                  
               filing of a Notice of Federal Tax Lien for the periods                 
               shown above [petitioner’s taxable years 1995, 1996,                    
               1997, 1999, and 2000].  You wished to raise the issue                  
               of the underlying tax liability and have your returns                  
               reconsidered.                                                          
               Our determination is that the lien is sustained.                       
               BRIEF BACKGROUND                                                       
               * * * [The settlement officer] offered a conference to                 
               the taxpayer via a substantive contact letter.  The                    
               taxpayer’s representative responded to the letter with                 
               a telephone call.  During this call the representative                 
               was advised that the underlying liability issue is                     
               precluded because the taxpayer received his Statutory                  
               Notice of Deficiency with the right to appeal on all                   
               periods.  Furthermore, the IRS had granted a reconsid-                 
               eration of the liability previously, which resulted in                 
               no change to the tax.  The representative was given                    
               additional time to submit a valid alternative to fur-                  
               ther collection action.  The representative agreed that                
               if he was unable to provide information necessary to                   
               consider alternatives by February 28, 2006, * * * [the                 
               settlement officer] would issue a determination.
