- 5 - On March 15, 2006, the Appeals Office issued to petitioner a notice of determination concerning collection action(s) under section 6320 and/or 6330 (notice of determination). That notice stated in pertinent part: Summary of Determination You failed to provide any collection alternatives or information needed to resolve the lien issue. Collec- tion is sustained. An attachment to the notice of determination stated in pertinent part: 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.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Next
