CAROLYN JEAN COLE, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Mark V. Holmes, Judge
This is an interest-abatement case that seems to have begun with an informal request that the IRS never acted on. We spoke with the parties today to figure out a way forward. Respondent's counsel saw merit in petitioner's claim and offered to put in a request for review at IRS APS, the part of the IRS that deals with account and processing support. This could allow a swift end to this aging case, and all agreed it was worth a try. It is therefore
ORDERED that this case is stricken from the Court's March 6, 2023 trial calendar for Dallas, Texas. It is also
ORDERED that this division of the Court retains jurisdiction. It is also
ORDERED that on or before April 24, 2023 the parties shall file a status report describe their progress toward a settlement of this case.
