DEBBIE ANN GLOVER, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Kathleen Kerrigan, Chief Judge
On March 3, 2023, the Court received from petitioner in the above-docketed proceeding a letter which, although untitled, was in the nature of and will be recharacterized as a Motion for Entry of Decision. The document indicated that the case underlying this matter for taxable year 2021 had been resolved with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). On that basis, petitioner requested that the instant proceeding be dismissed.
Upon due consideration, and because the Tax Court cannot dismiss a deficiency case for reason other than lack of jurisdiction without entering a decision specifying the amount of tax due, it is
ORDERED that petitioner's letter filed March 3, 2023, shall be recharacterized as a Motion for Entry of Decision. It is further
ORDERED that, on or before June 30, 2023, either (1) respondent shall file with the Court a response to petitioner's just-referenced motion, specifying therein respondent's position as to the amount(s) to be included in any decision to be entered in the case and whether petitioner is in agreement with such amount, or, alternatively (2) the parties shall submit a stipulated decision resolving this case and incorporating, if applicable, appropriate language establishing petitioner's entitlement to any overpayment.
