Background When the petition was filed in the instant case, petitioners resided in Glendale, Arizona. Petitioners timely filed their 1993 Federal income tax return. Petitioners showed a $9,238 tax liability for 1993. On January 9, 1996, respondent sent to petitioners a notice of deficiency that determined a $20,710 deficiency (liability of $29,948, minus the $9,238 liability shown on petitioners’ tax return) and a $4,142 penalty under section 6662(a). On March 29, 1996, petitioners sent a petition to the Court (docket No. 5931- 96, hereinafter sometimes referred to as the 1996 case) disputing the entire amounts of the deficiency and penalty so determined. Also on March 29, 1996, petitioners sent to respondent a second amended 1993 tax return (Form 1040X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return) showing a tax liability of $21,893, and showing that this was $12,655 greater than the liability they had previously reported. On May 27, 1996, respondent made an additional assessment of the $12,655 shown on this Form 1040X, along with interest, and notified petitioners of this additional assessment.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 NextLast modified: November 10, 2007
