            income taxes accruing after December 31, 1984, would be                                     
            calculated at 120 percent of the statutory rate under section                               
            6621(c).2  In addition to the above deficiencies and additions to                           
            tax, in an amended answer, respondent asserted additions to tax                             
            for 1981 in the amount of $689 under section 6653(a)(1) for                                 
            negligence and under section 6653(a)(2) in an amount equal to 50                            
            percent of the interest due on the underpayment attributable to                             
            negligence.                                                                                 
                  The issues for decision are:  (1) Whether petitioner is                               
            entitled to deductions claimed on his 1982 Federal income tax                               
            return with respect to his interest in the partnership Efron                                
            Investors II and whether petitioner is liable for increased                                 
            interest under section 6621(c) with respect to 1982; (2) whether                            
            expert reports and testimony offered by respondent are admissible                           
            into evidence; (3) whether petitioner is entitled to claimed                                
            deductions and tax credits with respect to Clearwater as passed                             
            through EI to petitioner; (4) whether petitioner is liable for                              
            additions to tax under section 6653(a)(1) and (2) for 1981; (5)                             
            whether petitioner is liable for the addition to tax under                                  


            2                                                                                           
                  This section was repealed by sec. 7721(b) of the Omnibus                              
            Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989 (OBRA 89), Pub. L. 101-239, 103                           
            Stat. 2106, 2399, effective for tax returns due after Dec. 31,                              
            1989, OBRA 89, sec. 7721(d), 103 Stat. 2400.  The repeal does not                           
            affect the instant case.  The annual rate of interest under sec.                            
            6621(c) for interest accruing after Dec. 31, 1984, equals 120                               
            percent of the interest payable under sec. 6601 with respect to                             
            any substantial underpayment attributable to tax-motivated                                  
            transactions.
