WILLIAM E. GREENLEE & AMELIA Y. GREENLEE, Petitioners v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Kathleen Kerrigan, Chief Judge
On June 15, 2023, a petition was filed electronically to commence the above-docketed case. Attached thereto was a copy of the Statement of Taxpayer Identification Number that disclosed petitioners' taxpayer identification numbers. Subsequently, pursuant to Rule 27(h) of the Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure, petitioners submitted to the Court a redacted Statement of Taxpayer Identification Number in which references to petitioners' taxpayer identification number have been eliminated. Such redacted copy was attached to a letter filed July 12, 2023. However, petitioners did not include a complete copy of the petition itself. In view of the foregoing, it is
ORDERED that petitioners' document filed July 12, 2023, at Docket Index No. 5 shall be recharacterized as a letter. It is further
ORDERED that the duplicative copy of such letter filed July 12, 2023, at Docket Index No. 6 shall be deemed stricken from the Court's record in this case. It is further
ORDERED that, on or before August 15, 2023, 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 June 15, 2023, on petitioners. Petitioners are reminded that the Redacted Petition should be an exact duplicate of the petition filed on June 15, 2023, including all pages thereof, with references to the taxpayer identification numbers redacted.
