FRANK A. BORCHETTA, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Albert G. Lauber, Judge
This case is calendared on the Court's December 19, 2022, Washington, D.C., trial session. On September 22, 2021, petitioner timely hand-delivered a petition challenging a notice of deficiency for tax year 2018. It has come to our attention that petitioner neglected to redact, from his petition and the notice of deficiency attached to it, a substantial amount of confidential personal information.
Rule 27(a), Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure, provides that parties should refrain from including in their filings (or should take appropriate steps to redact) certain confidential information, such as taxpayer identification numbers, social security numbers, and financial account numbers. The Court will seal petitioner's petition to protect the confidential information appearing in it.
For cause, it is
ORDERED that, on the Court's own motion, the unredacted petition filed in this case on September 22, 2021, is sealed from public view.
