It appears that for the year 1917 the tax shown to be due and assessed upon the original return was $3,827.84; that in February, 1924, the Commissioner made a jeopardy assessment of an additional tax of $8,876.40, and that on March 20, 1926, the Commissioner finally acted upon petitioner's claim for abatement and determined that the correct tax liability was $8,672.53 resulting in an overassessment of $4,031.71; that for the year 1918 the return of the petitioner showed no tax; that in February, 1924, the Commissioner made a jeopardy assessment of $15,435.45; that on March 30, 1926, he*4109 made a final determination upon the petitioner's claim for abatement and determined the correct tax liability to be $13,082.23, resulting in an overassessment of $2,353.22. Within 60 days after the Commissioner's determination of March 20, 1926, petitioner filed its petition with the Board. The petitioner's corporation income-tax return, Form 1031, and corporation excess-profits-tax return, Form 1103, were filed with the collector of internal revenue for the second district of New York on April 1, 1918.

Some mention was made at the hearing by counsel for the petitioner that there might be some question as to the validity of the consents entered into between the petitioner and the Commissioner but there is no evidence in the record from which the Board can hold that these consents are invalid. From a consideration of the record, the *457 Board is of the opinion that the collection of the tax determined by the Commissioner to be due for the taxable years is not barred by the statute*4113 of limitation. .
The motion for judgment of no deficiency for the taxable years is denied.
Order will be entered restoring the case to the general calendar for hearing on the merits in due course.
