JOSHUA DUNGAN & TIFFANY DUNGAN, Petitioners v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Albert G. Lauber Judge
This case is calendared on the Court's June 12, 2023, remote trial session. On January 25, 2022, petitioners timely mailed (and the Court on February 3, 2022, filed) a petition challenging a notice of deficiency for tax year 2017. Their petition and its attachments consist of 34 pages and include a substantial amount of unredacted personal identifying information.
Rule 27(a), Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure, generally provides that parties should refrain from including (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 petitioners' 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 February 3, 2022, is sealed from public view.
