- 2 - Respondent determined a deficiency in petitioner’s Federal income tax for 2002 in the amount of $615. At trial, respondent conceded the deficiency. The sole issue for decision is whether petitioner is entitled to credit for an overpayment of tax for 2002 and is, therefore, entitled to a refund for that overpayment. Some of the facts were stipulated and are incorporated herein by reference. At the time the petition was filed, petitioner’s legal residence was Gilroy, California. For the year at issue, 2002, petitioner filed a Federal income tax return, Form 1040A, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return. Petitioner filed that return as a single individual and claimed no dependency exemption deduction other than for herself. The reported income consisted of: Salary and wages $21,388.00 Taxable interest 2.23 Taxable portion of an $8,361.36 pension paid by CalPERS (California Public Employees Pension System) 4,338.52 Gross Social Security benefits1 9,506.00 1The taxable amount of the Social Security benefits is not shown on the return; however, respondent agrees that petitioner correctly computed the tax on the taxable portion of the Social Security benefits, and the tax shown as due and owing on the return correctly included the amount of tax for the Social Security benefits. With respondent conceding the deficiency, the trial dealt with petitioner’s contention that she is not liable for tax onPage: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 Next
