ISMAIL GOKHAN ERKAL, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Maurice B. Foley Chief Judge.
On April 6, 2022, petitioner filed a Motion for Extension of Time and a Brief in Support thereof. Petitioner advises that, since the filing of the Petition, respondent has requested that petitioner send respondent a corrected Schedule C, Profit or Loss from Business, for the 2019 taxable year-that is, the year at issue in this case. Petitioner further advises that he has sent a corrected Schedule C as requested. Petitioner requests an "extension of time so that IRS can process the amended Schedule C and re-evaluate any tax due based on the amended return."
At this time, this case has not been set for trial, and nothing precludes the parties from engaging with each other in an attempt to settle this dispute. Moreover, there is currently no deadline to extend. Accordingly, we will deny petitioner's Motion. Nevertheless, the Court encourages the parties to continue their informal communication and good-faith efforts to resolve this dispute.
The foregoing considered, it is
ORDERED that petitioner's above-referenced Motion is denied without prejudice.
