DARIN PAUL SCHAFFER & LESLIE RAY SCHAFFER, Petitioners v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER OF DISMISSAL FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
Kathleen Kerrigan, Chief Judge.
On October 6, 2021, respondent filed a Motion To Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction on the ground that petitioners paid the tax liability for tax year 2018 before the issuance of the notice of deficiency, and, therefore, the notice of deficiency is invalid. Although the Court directed petitioners to file an Objection, if any, to respondent's motion, petitioners failed to do so.
Upon due consideration, it is
ORDERED that respondent's Motion To Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction is granted and this case is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction on the ground that the notice of deficiency is invalid.
