MOSTAFA H. ELMARSAFAWY, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Kathleen Kerrigan, Chief Judge.
On November 29, 2022, petitioner filed a Brief in Support of Answer (Index #9), which includes a statement of taxpayer identification number. Rule 27(a), Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure, provides that the parties shall refrain from including taxpayer identification number in filings made with the Court. Moreover, although a taxpayer is required to submit with a petition a statement of taxpayer identification number, the Court will not file that statement or make it part of the Court's file in this case. Rule 20(b); see Note to Rule 20, 130 T.C. 382-383.
Upon due consideration and for cause, it is
ORDERED that petitioner's Brief in Support of Answer (Index #9), filed November 29, 2022, is deemed stricken from the Court's record and shall not be viewable as part of this case.
