Wendy Anne Ammirato Petitioner v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Respondent
ORDER
Maurice B. Foley Chief Judge
Petitioner filed the petition in this case on July 9, 2021, seeking review of a notice of deficiency, dated April 19, 2021, issued to petitioner for tax year 2018. On October 13, 2021, petitioner filed a Motion To Withdraw.
In a deficiency case where the Court has jurisdiction, Internal Revenue Code section 7459(d) generally requires the Court to enter a decision as to the amount of the deficiency, if any. Settles v. Commissioner, 138 T.C. 372, 374 (2012). Because this case is based on a notice of deficiency, the Court is required to enter a decision and, accordingly, the petition in this case may not be withdrawn with or without prejudice.
Upon due consideration, it is
ORDERED that petitioner's Motion To Withdraw is denied. It is further
ORDERED that, on or before November 12, 2021, the parties shall either (1) submit stipulated decision documents so this case may be concluded, or (2) file status reports (preferably a joint report) with the Court concerning the then-present status of this case.
