- The Tax Court has announced proposed amendments to its Rules of Practice and Procedure reducing the number of copies required for papers filed with the Court, requiring electronic filing by most parties represented by counsel, providing privacy protections in whistleblower cases, and making other miscellaneous and conforming changes. Please see the press release for more information.
- Beginning September 6, 2011, to make it easier for the public and the parties to recognize which small (S) tax cases are based upon a Notice of Determination Concerning Collection Action(s) Under Section 6320 and)/or 6330, docket numbers for all pending S cases based upon such a notice have been changed by adding an "L" after the "S" in the docket number. For example, Docket No. 30000-10S is now Docket No. 30000-10SL.
