Murphy J. Keller Petitioner v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Respondent
ORDER
Maurice B. Foley Chief Judge
On May 31, 2021, petitioner filed two documents titled Exhibit(s) (Index #7 and Index #8). The filing of these documents is improper as they appear to be in the nature of evidence. Accordingly, the Court will strike these documents from the record in this case.
In addition, petitioner's Exhibit(s) (Index #7) 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 Exhibit(s) (Index #8), filed May 31, 2021, is deemed stricken from the Court's record. It is further
ORDERED that petitioner's Exhibit(s) (Index #7), filed May 31, 2021, is deemed stricken from the Court's record and shall not be viewable as part of this case.
