George Hull & Julie Jaros Petitioners v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Respondent
ORDER OF DISMISSAL FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
Maurice B. Foley Chief Judge
This Court is separate and independent from the IRS. On June 14, 2021, the Court received a letter from petitioners, which was filed as the petition to commence this case in order to protect the taxpayer's interests to the extent possible. The Court's $60.00 filing fee was not paid. By Order issued September 16, 2021, the Court directed petitioners to pay the Court's filing fee or file an application for waiver of filing fee for consideration. No response to that Order has been received from petitioners. Because petitioners have failed to submit the Court's $60.00 filing fee for this case, it is
ORDERED that this case is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
Petitioners are advised that the Court, on its own motion, will consider reinstating the case if the filing fee is paid within 30 days from the date of service of this Order (or if petitioner submits for the Court's consideration an Application for Waiver of Filing Fee, which is available on the Court's website by clicking on "eFiling & Case Maintenance", then by clicking on "Case Related Forms"). Instructions on how to pay the filing fee can be found in the "Guidance for Petitioners" tab of the Court's website at www.ustaxcourt.gov.
