Colin Matthew Cox & Karen lynn Cox Petitioners v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Respondent
ORDER
Maurice B. Foley, Chief Judge.
On July 6, 2021, a petition was filed to commence the above-docketed case. The copy of the notice of deficiency attached to the petition was not redacted to eliminate references to petitioners' taxpayer identification number. Subsequently, pursuant to Rule 27(h) of the Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure, petitioners submitted to the Court a redacted notice of deficiency in which references to petitioners' taxpayer identification number have been eliminated. Such redacted copy was attached to a first amendment to petition filed October 12, 2021. However, petitioners did not include a complete copy of the July 6, 2021, petition itself. In view of the foregoing, it is
ORDERED that petitioners' First Amendment to Petition filed October 12, 2021, is hereby deemed stricken from the record in this case. It is further
ORDERED that, on or before November 12, 2021, petitioners may file a Redacted Petition that is an exact duplicate of the original petition filed, but with references to petitioners' taxpayer identification number redacted. It is further
ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall serve a copy of the petition filed in this case on July 6, 2021, on petitioner. Petitioner is reminded that the Redacted Petition should be an exact duplicate of the petition filed on July 6, 2021, including all pages thereof, with references to the taxpayer identification number redacted.
