Regina Renette Quinn Petitioners v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Respondent
ORDER
Joseph Robert Goeke Judge
On November 3, 2021, respondent filed a Motion for Leave to File First Amendment to Answer with an Amendment to Answer lodged thereto. On November 10, 2021, petitioner filed a Response to Motion for Leave to File First Amendment to Answer. Petitioner is advised that the Court has no authority under the Internal Revenue Code or our rules to allow petitioner's husband to intervene in this case. However, petitioner's husband should participate in any administrative resolution of this case since he is jointly liable for the tax liability, but we have no jurisdiction over that resolution. Upon due consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby
ORDERED that respondent's above-referenced motion is granted and the first amendment to answer, lodged November 3, 2021, shall be filed as of the date this Order is issued. It is further
ORDERED that the parties are directed on or before January 19, 2022, to submit to the Court signed decision documents, or in the alternative, to file with the Court a joint written report as to the then current status of this case. If the parties cannot resolve this case, the parties should include proposed dates for trial in the status report.
