          Background                                                                  
               The record establishes and/or the parties do not dispute the           
          following.                                                                  
               A.  Petitioner’s Failure To File                                       
               Petitioner has a history of failing to file Federal income             
          tax returns.  Specifically, petitioner failed to file a Federal             
          income tax return for 1992.                                                 
               B.  Respondent’s Notice of Deficiency                                  
               On December 28, 1994, respondent issued a notice of                    
          deficiency to petitioner.  In the notice, respondent determined,            
          in pertinent part, a deficiency in petitioner’s Federal income              
          tax for 1992 in the amount of $15,402, an addition to tax under             
          section 6651(a)(1) for failure to timely file a tax return in the           
          amount of $4,544.60, and an addition to tax under section 6654(a)           
          for failure to pay estimated tax in the amount of $635.78.2  The            
          deficiency was based principally on respondent’s determination              
          that petitioner failed to report: (1) Wage income in the amount             
          of $16,936 (as reported to respondent on Form W-2 by Granite                
          Construction Co.); (2) nonemployee compensation in the amount of            
          $43,624; and (3) unemployment compensation in the amount of                 
          $6,095 (as reported to respondent on Form 1099-G).                          


               2  Although the notice of deficiency also sets forth                   
          respondent’s determination of deficiencies in petitioner’s                  
          Federal income taxes for 1990 and 1991, we are concerned in this            
          proceeding only with petitioner’s liability for 1992.
