Before: SNEED, PREGERSON, and FERNANDEZ, Circuit Judges.


SNEED, Circuit Judge:

The Estate of William F. Harrah (Estate) seeks to recover an alleged overpayment of income taxes in the taxable years of 1983 and 1984. The William F. Harrah Marital Trust (Trust)1 also seeks to recover a related overpayment for the 1984 taxable year. The difficulty each confronts is that the reopening of the relevant years is barred by the statute of limitations. See 26 U.S.C. § 6511(a).
