U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 04-3600
Agency
[PUBLISHED][Colloton, Author, with Arnold and McMillian, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Federal tax law. The Tax Court erred in finding that the
IRS has abused its discretion in imposing a levy for the amount remaining
on taxpayer's original compromised liability; the case should be reviewed
upon the basis of the evidence presented to the appeals officer; the
appeals officer did not abuse his discretion in declining to excuse
taxpayer's breach of an express condition of the agreement, nor did he err
in refusing to reinstate the agreement.
