Jack G. Duffy, Jr Petitioner v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Respondent
ORDER
Maurice B. Foley Chief Judge
On January 21, 2022, a petition was filed to commence the above-docketed case. The copy of the notice of determination attached to the petition was not redacted to eliminate references to petitioner's taxpayer identification number. Subsequently, pursuant to Rule 27(h) of the Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure, petitioner submitted to the Court a redacted notice of determination in which references to petitioner's taxpayer identification number have been eliminated. Such redacted copy filed electronically under the designation "Redacted Petition". However, petitioner did not include a complete copy of the petition itself. In view of the foregoing, it is
ORDERED that the document filed January 28, 2022, shall be recharacterized as a First Amendment to Petition. It is
ORDERED that, on or before, March 17 2022, petitioner may file a Redacted Petition that is an exact duplicate of the original petition filed, but with references to petitioner's taxpayer identification number redacted. The original petition could then be sealed. It is further
ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall serve a copy of the petition filed in this case on January 21, 2022, on petitioner. Petitioner is reminded that the Redacted Petition should be an exact duplicate of the petition filed on January 21, 2022, including all pages thereof, with references to the taxpayer identification number redacted.
