          Bear Auto Air, and Arctic Auto Air Electric.  His objection to              
          each question was overruled, and he was ordered to answer.  His             
          answer:  "I will remain silent at this time on that question."              
          Accordingly, we hold that petitioner received and failed to                 
          report employee wages, nonemployee compensation, and unemployment           
          compensation in the amounts determined by respondent for the                
          taxable years in issue.                                                     
               The second issue for decision is petitioner's proper filing            
          status for the taxable years in issue.                                      
               In the statutory notices of deficiency, respondent                     
          determined that petitioner's proper filing status for 1992, 1993,           
          and 1994 was single.  However, respondent conceded at trial that            
          petitioner was married during the taxable years in issue.  Since            
          petitioner did not make a single return jointly with his wife               
          under section 6013, we hold that his proper filing status for               
          1992, 1993, and 1994 was married filing separately.  Sec. 1(d).             
               The third issue for decision is whether petitioner is                  
          entitled to dependency exemption deductions for his two sons for            
          the taxable years in issue.                                                 
               In the statutory notices of deficiency, respondent did not             
          allow petitioner dependency exemption deductions for his two sons           
          for 1992, 1993, and 1994.  At trial, respondent's counsel stated            
          that petitioner had presented "two birth certificates for                   
          dependents."  He further stated respondent's position with
