This appeal is from a determination of a deficiency in income tax for the year 1918 in the amount of $4,063.11. The* deficiency letter further showed an overassessment for the year 1919 in the amount of $5,462.67. It is claimed by the taxpayer that a waiver signed by the executrix after the expiration of the five-year period of limitation is invalid and of no effect.
From the evidence submitted the Board makes the following
