          Swiss Haus, Inc. for the quarter ending December 31, 1982, to the           
          quarter ending June 30, 1984.  See sec. 6672.                               
               In December 1990, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern           
          District of Ohio, Eastern Division, entered an order requiring              
          the chapter 7 trustee to pay certain administrative claimants a             
          dividend, including $12,802 to respondent on its claim for                  
          administrative taxes incurred by petitioners’ bankruptcy estate             
          during the chapter 11 phase of the case.  Further, the TFRP                 
          liabilities were found not to be fully dischargeable in                     
          bankruptcy.  See 11 U.S.C. sec. 523(a)(1)(A) (2000).                        
               Petitioners filed their 1990, 1991, and 1992 tax returns               
          with the filing status of married filing jointly and did not send           
          in payments for the balances due with these returns.  Mr. Lah               
          filed his 1993 tax return with the filing status of married                 
          filing separately.  Mr. Lah did not send in a payment for the               
          balance due with his 1993 tax return.                                       
               Prior to September 1996, petitioners sent in various partial           
          payments to be applied to the income tax liabilities for the                
          years in issue.  Petitioners would designate each payment to the            
          tax year that they wanted the payment to apply.  During this                
          period, respondent would honor petitioners’ designations and                
          apply the payments to the tax years specified.                              
               On July 12, 1996, petitioners entered into an installment              
          agreement with respondent that included the TFRP liabilities and
