               the AO.                                                                
               2 Reasonable collection potential is calculated by                     
               multiplying petitioner’s monthly income available to pay               
               taxes by 60 months and adding the realizable equity in                 
               petitioner’s assets to the product.

          action (collection action) with this Court.
