JOSEPH ANDREW ABBOTT & PAMELA ABBOTT, Petitioners v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
ORDER
Diana L. Leyden, Special Trial Judge.
This case is calendared for trial at the September 18, 2023, Boston, Massachusetts, Trial Session of the Court. On June 22, 2021, petitioners timely filed a petition challenging a notice of determination dated June 1, 2021, issued for tax year 2016. Petitioners' petition consisted of 6 pages and included unredacted personal identifying information.
Rule 27(a), Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure, generally provides that in an electronic or paper filing with the Court, a party or nonparty making the filing should refrain from including or should take appropriate steps to redact certain specified information, such as taxpayer identification numbers and financial account numbers. Due to the unredacted personal identifying information appearing in the petition, the Court will take steps to seal petitioners' petition to protect their information. For cause, it is
ORDERED that on the Court's own motion the unredacted petition filed to commence this case on June 22, 2021, is sealed to public view.
