          Engineers, Inc. (FCE), of $10,501 and $10,300 respectively.  On             
          his returns for 1990 and 1991, petitioner reported no income from           
          Paragon Construction Group, Inc. (PCG) in 1990 and $37,100 in               
          1991.  After examining petitioner's returns, respondent                     
          determined that petitioner underreported his income during the              
          years in issue.  Relying primarily on the income figures listed             
          in two separate loan applications completed and signed by                   
          petitioner, respondent determined that petitioner's total income            
          from FCE was $76,800 in 1988 and $76,800 in 1989 and that his               
          income from PCG was $70,902 in 1990 and $76,960 in 1991.                    

          Loan Applications                                                           

               The first loan application was completed by petitioner and             
          Mrs. Driggers in an attempt to finance the construction of their            
          new residence.  Petitioner and Mrs. Driggers submitted a                    
          Residential Loan Application on March 3, 1989 (1989 Application).           
          On the 1989 Application, petitioner listed his current gross                
          monthly income as $6,400, which translates to $76,800 per year              
          for 1989.  In connection with the 1989 Application, petitioner              
          authorized his employer, FCE, to verify his employment.  On the             
          Request for Verification of Employment form completed by FCE on             
          March 7, 1989, petitioner's current weekly salary is listed as              
          $1,476.92, which translates to $76,799.84 per year for 1989.  In            
          addition, this verification form also lists petitioner's 1988               
          salary as $76,800.
