John Nicholas Bumgarner Petitioner v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Respondent
ORDER
Tamara W. Ashford, Judge.
On May 27, 2021, pursuant to the Court's April 14, 2021, Order, respondent filed a Status Report, apprising the Court of the then present status of this case. Respondent reports that on April 26, 2021, he re-issued decision documents to petitioner reflecting the settlement figures reported by the Internal Revenue Service Independent Office of Appeals (Appeals). Respondent further reports that on April 30, 2021, petitioner contacted him, informing him that the settlement figures reported by Appeals and contained in the decision documents did not reflect the settlement agreed upon with Appeals. Respondent also reports that on May 13, 2021, he spoke to petitioner via telephone and explained the concessions and adjustments made by Appeals and how the computation of the deficiency was determined; petitioner asked respondent to mail a copy of the computation to him so that his accountant could review the adjustments. Finally, respondent reports that on May 17, 2021, he mailed a letter and a copy of Appeals' computation to petitioner and thus the parties are currently working together to resolve any outstanding issues concerning the purported settlement amount reported by Appeals. Upon due consideration, it is hereby
ORDERED that the parties shall, on or before August 2, 2021, electronically submit to the Court an agreed stipulated decision document or file status reports, separately or jointly, apprising the Court of the then present status of this case.
