(1) Whether the taxpayer has been guilty of fraud with attempt to evade tax;
(2) Whether the petitioner is liable as the transferee of property of a taxpayer (but not to show that the taxpayer was liable for the tax); and
(3) Whether the taxpayer is liable for any increase in a deficiency where such increase is asserted initially after the notice of deficiency was mailed and a protest under section 143.631 filed, unless such increase in deficiency is the result of a change or correction of federal taxable income required to be reported under section 143.601, and of which change or correction the director of revenue had no notice or knowledge at the time he mailed the notice of deficiency.
