- 32 - evidence that petitioners specified in writing that the proceeds be applied to their income tax liability instead. On the basis of the record before the Court, and with the exception of the failure to pay penalty for income tax year 1997 which respondent concedes, petitioners are liable for the taxes, additions to tax, and interest as determined by respondent. We further find that respondent did not abuse his discretion in rejecting petitioners’ offers-in-compromise. Thus, respondent's determination that the Federal tax levies were appropriate in these cases is sustained. To reflect the foregoing, Decision in docket No. 2203-05L will be entered under Rule 155. Decision in docket No. 23547-06L will be entered for respondent.Page: Previous 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32Last modified: March 27, 2008
