SHALONDRA MOODY, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Kathleen Kerrigan Chief Judge
On November 14, 2022, petitioner filed electronically in the above-docketed matter a document under the designation "Response to Answer". However, review of the record shows that the filing consists in its entirely of a copy of a Form 1098-T, Tuition Statement. As such, the filed document appears to be potentially evidentiary in nature, submitted by petitioner in support of petitioner's position herein.
The Court would therefore take this opportunity to stress once again that evidentiary materials generally are not filed with the Court; rather, they should be exchanged with counsel for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as part of the pretrial process (before trial) and then introduced at trial if the case has not been settled prior thereto. Because the IRS is separate from this Court, petitioner is accordingly advised to contact IRS counsel directly regarding such matters.
Upon due consideration, it is
ORDERED that the document filed November 14, 2022, at Docket Entry #12, is hereby deemed stricken from the Court's record in this case.
