          Code as in effect at the time the petition was filed.  Unless               
          otherwise indicated, subsequent section references are to the               
          Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended.  The decision to be               
          entered is not reviewable by any other court, and this opinion              
          should not be cited as authority.                                           
               This case arises from petitioner’s election to seek relief             
          from joint and several liability for Federal income tax for the             
          taxable year 2001 under section 6015(f).  Respondent determined             
          that petitioner was not entitled to such relief.  The sole issue            
          before this Court is whether petitioner is entitled to relief               
          under section 6015(f) for 2001 for an underpayment of tax shown             
          on the return.                                                              
                                     Background                                       
               Some of the facts are stipulated.  The stipulated facts and            
          the exhibits received into evidence are incorporated herein by              
          reference.  At the time that the petition was filed, petitioner             
          resided in Wilmington, Delaware.                                            
               Petitioner and Ebrehem Khalil Aly (Mr. Khalil Aly), an                 
          Egyptian national, met over the Internet sometime in 1996 and               
          began a romantic relationship soon thereafter that spanned the              
          next 5 years.  Mr. Khalil Aly was married with children and                 
          living in Egypt at the time that he began an “online”

          for the year 2001.  Therefore, this Court has jurisdiction to               
          decide this case.
