On April 6, 2006, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, pursuant to 26 U.S.C. § 6212, issued a notice of deficiency to the McDonalds for the taxable year 2002. In response, on July 12, 2006, the McDonalds mailed a petition to the Tax Court challenging the deficiency notice pursuant to 26 U.S.C. § 6213. Section 6213 states that within ninety days after the notice of deficiency is mailed, the taxpayer may file a petition with the Tax Court for a redeter-mination of the deficiency. 1 26 U.S.C. § 6213(a). Both parties filed motions to dismiss, and the Tax Court 2 granted the Commissioner’s motion. The Tax Court reasoned that because the McDonalds filed their action more than ninety days after the Commissioner issued the notice of deficiency, it did not have jurisdiction over the action.

The Tax Court’s limited jurisdiction depends upon express statutory authority. Comm’r v. McCoy, 484 U.S. 3, 7, 108 S.Ct. 217, 98 L.Ed.2d 2 (1987). Because the McDonalds did not meet the jurisdictional timely filing requirement in 26 U.S.C. § 6213(a), the Tax Court did not have ju *713 risdiction and correctly dismissed the case. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
