     TITLE 26 - INTERNAL REVENUE CODE
      Subtitle F - Procedure and Administration
       CHAPTER 63 - ASSESSMENT
        Subchapter B - Deficiency Procedures in the Case of Income, Estate,
              Gift, and Certain Excise Taxes
       

Statute

    Sec. 6213. Restrictions applicable to deficiencies; petition to Tax
        Court
 
    (a) Time for filing petition and restriction on assessment
      Within 90 days, or 150 days if the notice is addressed to a
    person outside the United States, after the notice of deficiency
    authorized in section 6212 is mailed (not counting Saturday,
    Sunday, or a legal holiday in the District of Columbia as the last
    day), the taxpayer may file a petition with the Tax Court for a
    redetermination of the deficiency.  Except as otherwise provided in
    section 6851, 6852, or 6861 no assessment of a deficiency in
    respect of any tax imposed by subtitle A, or B, chapter 41, 42, 43,
    or 44 and no levy or proceeding in court for its collection shall
    be made, begun, or prosecuted until such notice has been mailed to
    the taxpayer, nor until the expiration of such 90-day or 150-day
    period, as the case may be, nor, if a petition has been filed with
    the Tax Court, until the decision of the Tax Court has become
    final.  Notwithstanding the provisions of section 7421(a), the
    making of such assessment or the beginning of such proceeding or
    levy during the time such prohibition is in force may be enjoined
    by a proceeding in the proper court, including the Tax Court, and a
    refund may be ordered by such court of any amount collected within
    the period during which the Secretary is prohibited from collecting
    by levy or through a proceeding in court under the provisions of
    this subsection.  The Tax Court shall have no jurisdiction to
    enjoin any action or proceeding or order any refund under this
    subsection unless a timely petition for a redetermination of the
    deficiency has been filed and then only in respect of the
    deficiency that is the subject of such petition.  Any petition
    filed with the Tax Court on or before the last date specified for
    filing such petition by the Secretary in the notice of deficiency
    shall be treated as timely filed.
    (b) Exceptions to restrictions on assessment
      (1) Assessments arising out of mathematical or clerical errors
        If the taxpayer is notified that, on account of a mathematical
      or clerical error appearing on the return, an amount of tax in
      excess of that shown on the return is due, and that an assessment
      of the tax has been or will be made on the basis of what would
      have been the correct amount of tax but for the mathematical or
      clerical error, such notice shall not be considered as a notice
      of deficiency for the purposes of subsection (a) (prohibiting
      assessment and collection until notice of the deficiency has been
      mailed), or of section 6212(c)(1) (restricting further deficiency
      letters), or of section 6512(a) (prohibiting credits or refunds
      after petition to the Tax Court), and the taxpayer shall have no
      right to file a petition with the Tax Court based on such notice,
      nor shall such assessment or collection be prohibited by the
      provisions of subsection (a) of this section.  Each notice under
      this paragraph shall set forth the error alleged and an
      explanation thereof.
      (2) Abatement of assessment of mathematical or clerical errors
        (A) Request for abatement
          Notwithstanding section 6404(b), a taxpayer may file with the
        Secretary within 60 days after notice is sent under paragraph
        (1) a request for an abatement of any assessment specified in
        such notice, and upon receipt of such request, the Secretary
        shall abate the assessment.  Any reassessment of the tax with
        respect to which an abatement is made under this subparagraph
        shall be subject to the deficiency procedures prescribed by
        this subchapter.
        (B) Stay of collection
          In the case of any assessment referred to in paragraph (1),
        notwithstanding paragraph (1), no levy or proceeding in court
        for the collection of such assessment shall be made, begun, or
        prosecuted during the period in which such assessment may be
        abated under this paragraph.
      (3) Assessments arising out of tentative carryback or refund
          adjustments
        If the Secretary determines that the amount applied, credited,
      or refunded under section 6411 is in excess of the overassessment
      attributable to the carryback or the amount described in section
      1341(b)(1) with respect to which such amount was applied,
      credited, or refunded, he may assess without regard to the
      provisions of paragraph (2) the amount of the excess as a
      deficiency as if it were due to a mathematical or clerical error
      appearing on the return.
      (4) Assessment of amount paid
        Any amount paid as a tax or in respect of a tax may be assessed
      upon the receipt of such payment notwithstanding the provisions
      of subsection (a). In any case where such amount is paid after
      the mailing of a notice of deficiency under section 6212, such
      payment shall not deprive the Tax Court of jurisdiction over such
      deficiency determined under section 6211 without regard to such
      assessment.
    (c) Failure to file petition
      If the taxpayer does not file a petition with the Tax Court
    within the time prescribed in subsection (a), the deficiency,
    notice of which has been mailed to the taxpayer, shall be assessed,
    and shall be paid upon notice and demand from the Secretary.
    (d) Waiver of restrictions
      The taxpayer shall at any time (whether or not a notice of
    deficiency has been issued) have the right, by a signed notice in
    writing filed with the Secretary, to waive the restrictions
    provided in subsection (a) on the assessment and collection of the
    whole or any part of the deficiency.
    (e) Suspension of filing period for certain excise taxes
      The running of the time prescribed by subsection (a) for filing a
    petition in the Tax Court with respect to the taxes imposed by
    section 4941 (relating to taxes on self-dealing), 4942 (relating to
    taxes on failure to distribute income), 4943 (relating to taxes on
    excess business holdings), 4944 (relating to investments which
    jeopardize charitable purpose), 4945 (relating to taxes on taxable
    expenditures), 4951 (relating to taxes on self-dealing), or 4952
    (relating to taxes on taxable expenditures), 4955 (relating to
    taxes on political expenditures), 4958 (relating to private excess
    benefit), 4971 (relating to excise taxes on failure to meet minimum
    funding standard), 4975 (relating to excise taxes on prohibited
    transactions) shall be suspended for any period during which the
    Secretary has extended the time allowed for making correction under
    section 4963(e).
    (f) Coordination with title 11
      (1) Suspension of running of period for filing petition in title
          11 cases
        In any case under title 11 of the United States Code, the
      running of the time prescribed by subsection (a) for filing a
      petition in the Tax Court with respect to any deficiency shall be
      suspended for the period during which the debtor is prohibited by
      reason of such case from filing a petition in the Tax Court with
      respect to such deficiency, and for 60 days thereafter.
      (2) Certain action not taken into account
        For purposes of the second and third sentences of subsection
      (a), the filing of a proof of claim or request for payment (or
      the taking of any other action) in a case under title 11 of the
      United States Code shall not be treated as action prohibited by
      such second sentence.

          (B) an incorrect use of any table provided by the Internal
        Revenue Service with respect to any return if such incorrect
        use is apparent from the existence of other information on the
        return,
          (C) an entry on a return of an item which is inconsistent
        with another entry of the same or another item on such return,

        and if the items entering into the application of such limit
        appear on such return,

          the treatment of such individual as being of an age different

      A taxpayer shall be treated as having omitted a correct TIN for
      purposes of the preceding sentence if information provided by the
