CRYSTAL R. VETTEL, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Elizabeth Crewson Paris Judge
On May 30, 2023, the parties filed the Fifth Supplemental Stipulation of Facts, docket entry 42, consisting of paragraphs 123 through 137 and attached Exhibits 74-J through 88-J. Among those Exhibits were petitioner's joint account transcripts for the years at issue. Certain transcripts reflected fraud penalties not applicable to petitioner, as well as other entries requiring further explanation.
By Order dated June 16, 2023, docket entry 49, the Court granted respondent's Motion for Leave to File Status Report and ordered respondent's Status Report, docket entry 50, filed as of that date. In the Status Report, respondent represented that the fraud penalties erroneously appearing on petitioner's joint account transcripts have been submitted for abatement. In light of respondent's abatement request and subsequent developments in this case, the Court believes updated transcripts are appropriate.
After due consideration, it is
ORDERED that, on or before August 16, 2024, respondent shall file a Status Report with the Court as to the then-present status of this case to include updated transcripts for the tax years at issue.
