Issues: (1) The taxpayer makes a deposit in the nature of a cash bond for a particular tax year in anticipation of a deficiency to be determined. The Service later assesses a deficiency, plus interest, that is less than the cash bond deposit. At the taxpayer’s request, the remaining amount of the cash bond is moved to another taxable year.
