- 2 - of Practice and Procedure. This proceeding arises from a petition for judicial review filed in response to a Notice of Determination Concerning Collection Action(s) Under Section 6320 and/or 6330 (the notice of determination) sent to petitioners in April 2006. The issue for decision is whether respondent abused his discretion in sustaining a proposed levy action against petitioners. Background Some of the facts have been stipulated, and they are so found. The record consists of the stipulation of facts and supplemental stipulation of facts with attached exhibits, additional exhibits introduced at trial, and the testimony of petitioner Douglas Maxfield. From at least 1995 through the time the petition was filed, petitioners resided in Bowie, Maryland. All references to petitioner are to Douglas Maxfield. Petitioners filed a joint 1999 Federal income tax return. In March 2003, respondent issued petitioners a notice of deficiency determining, inter alia, that petitioners were not entitled to certain claimed deductions. Petitioners did not petition the Court in response to the notice, and respondent assessed tax, penalties, and interest against petitioners on August 4, 2003.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 NextLast modified: November 10, 2007
