          reflected on the above return of the Lily Partnership based on              
          the same total claimed tax bases in the properties.                         
               On audit for 1989, respondent disallowed in its entirety the           
          Lily Partnership's claimed depreciation deduction of $89,285                
          relating to the properties.  Respondent’s disallowance of the               
          Lily Partnership’s claimed depreciation expense relating to the             
          properties was, among other things, based on the inconsistency              
          between, on the one hand, the $147,262 that petitioner had                  
          reflected for the value of the properties on her individual 1986            
          Federal income tax return (that was used to compute petitioner's            
          gain relating to the liquidation of LY Enterprises) and, on the             
          other hand, the total $1,912,764 tax bases reflected on the Lily            
          Partnership’s 1989 return with respect to the properties (that              
          was used for the computation of depreciation claimed with respect           
          to the properties on petitioner’s 1989 Federal income tax                   
          return).                                                                    
               On April 15, 1993, consistent with respondent’s disallowance           
          of the claimed depreciation expense relating to properties on the           
          Lily Partnership’s 1989 return, respondent mailed a notice of               
          deficiency to petitioner for 1989 in which respondent disallowed            
          the depreciation expense claimed on petitioner's 1989 Federal               
          income tax return with respect to the properties.                           
               In Fong v. Commissioner, docket No. 15292-93 (the 1989 Fong            
          case), petitioner contested respondent’s disallowance of the
