The litigation in the appellate case also originated with this Court, the results of which are set out in Kochansky v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1994- 160. The appeal in that case was not resolved until sometime after the stipulation in the instant case was filed. In Kochansky v. Commissioner, 92 F.3d 957 (9th Cir. 1996), the Court of Appeals affirmed in part and reversed in part T.C. Memo. 1994- 160 regarding petitioner's 1987 tax year. The deficiency in tax and the imposition of additions to tax under sections 6651(a)(1) and 6661 were affirmed, and the imposition of the addition to tax under section 6653(a) was reversed.
