of $15,643, Mr. Scott’s wages of $27,909, income from his
bookkeeping business of $5,750, total tax of $5,353, income tax
withheld of $2,803 ($1,072.51 was withheld from petitioner’s
wages), and a balance due of $2,550. Mr. Scott did not send a
payment for the balance due with the return.
The Scotts lived in California from 1990 through 1994.
Petitioner moved to Idaho in late 1994 or early 1995. Mr. Scott
remained in California. He filed for bankruptcy in 1995, after
petitioner moved to Idaho. During the bankruptcy proceedings,
petitioner learned that she and Mr. Scott owed income taxes for
past years. Mr. Scott told petitioner that they could take care
of the taxes in the bankruptcy proceedings.
The Scotts owed income taxes to the State of California.
Petitioner contacted the State and obtained information about
setting up payments in an attempt to resolve those taxes. Mr.
Scott became angry when petitioner told him she had contacted the
State. He told her it was not her responsibility and that she
had no business getting involved in the matter. The State
eventually allowed the Scotts to make monthly payments of $50.
Petitioner suggested to Mr. Scott that they try to make a similar
arrangement with the IRS to pay their Federal taxes. He told
petitioner to stay out of it because it was his responsibility
and he would handle it.
