Wow... we are barely into February and this tax season has been one problem after another. So after I posted about the preparer error this morning (thank you so much for all your responses!), I got an email from another client who received a notice CP3219A. I've handled CP2000 notices before, of course, but never a CP3219A.
The client had unemployment income in 2012 from several resources. All were reported correctly on their tax return, but the CP3219A notice says they didn't report ANY of their unemployment income. I have no idea why they received this notice. I was getting ready to work on a response with a copy of their correctly prepared tax return and copies of all their 1099s for unemployment income. However, after further review, I discovered that this notice requires that you file a petition with the tax court. I've never had to do this before. Why is a tax court petition required instead of the normal written response?
Has anyone filed a petition with the tax court before? Is it much different that your typical CP2000 response? Anything I need to know before I get started?
Thanks so much for everyone's help today, you guys are a lifesaver.

P.S. Is it too early to start drinking?
