                                        - 2 -                                         
          filed a notice of objection to petitioner's motion for summary              
          judgment.  On December 26, 1995, petitioner filed a reply to                
          respondent's objection to petitioner's motion for summary                   
          judgment.                                                                   
               Respondent determined deficiencies in petitioner's Federal             
          income tax for years 1990 and 1991 in the respective amounts of             
          $44,086 and $26,406.  Respondent also determined an addition to             
          tax and an accuracy-related penalty for tax year 1990 in the                
          amounts of $3,799 and $330 pursuant to sections 6651(a)(1) and              
          6662(b)(1), respectively.                                                   
          Background                                                                  
               The deficiencies at issue are attributable to respondent's             
          determination that:  (1) Petitioner failed to report income for             
          tax years 1990 and 1991, (2) petitioner failed to substantiate              
          deductions for unreimbursed employee expenses for tax years 1990            
          and 1991,2 and (3) petitioner's deduction for exemptions should             
          have been reduced because his adjusted gross income was in excess           
          of $125,000 for tax year 1991.  The additions to tax at issue are           
          attributable to petitioner's late filing of his 1990 Federal                
          income tax return and an accuracy-related penalty for negligence            
          for tax year 1990.                                                          


          2    This adjustment results in a further adjustment because                
          petitioner's itemized deductions are less than the standard                 
          deduction allowable; accordingly, respondent disallowed the                 
          remaining itemized deductions and allowed petitioner the standard           
          deduction.
