- 5 - TAX RETURNS. THEREFORE, A LIEN AND LEVY WILL INHIBIT THE TAXPAYER TO OBTAIN PROPER FINANCING. [Reproduced literally.] On January 19, 2006, a settlement officer with the Appeals Office (settlement officer) sent a letter to petitioner with respect to petitioner’s Form 12153. In that letter, the settle- ment officer offered petitioner the opportunity to have a hearing on February 28, 2006. On February 28, 2006, petitioner’s autho- rized representative called the settlement officer and requested a two-week period within which to (1) submit a tax return for each of petitioner’s taxable years 2000, 2001, and 2002 and (2) propose a collection alternative. The settlement officer granted that request. On March 28, 2006, the settlement officer called petitioner’s authorized representative (March 28, 2006 call). During the March 28, 2006 call, petitioner’s authorized representative indicated that he had nothing to submit with respect to petitioner’s taxable years 2000, 2001, and 2002 and requested that a notice of determination be issued with respect to those years. On April 5, 2006, the Appeals Office issued to petitioner a notice of determination with respect to petitioner’s taxable years 2000, 2001, and 2002. That notice stated in pertinent part: Summary of Determination You did not offer any collection alternatives for Appeals consideration. Collection is sustained.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 NextLast modified: November 10, 2007
