          refund due to petitioner in the amount of $215,353, which                   
          respondent denied.                                                          
               Also on October 15, 1996, petitioner filed an amended                  
          individual Federal income tax return for 1993 on which petitioner           
          claimed a carryback of the balance of the 1995 claimed net                  
          operating loss not used for 1992.4  Petitioner’s 1993 amended               
          income tax return reflected a refund due petitioner in the amount           
          of $368,263, which respondent paid.                                         
               None of Blackland’s income tax returns are in evidence.                
          Blackland did not claim bad debt deductions relating to the loans           
          Blackland made to the tenant farmers until the filing of                    
          Blackland’s 1996 Federal income tax return, on which a bad debt             
          deduction in the total amount of $2,872,776 relating thereto was            
          claimed.                                                                    
               On audit of petitioner’s 1993 and 1995 individual Federal              
          income tax returns, respondent disallowed petitioner’s claimed              
          bad debt deduction for 1995 in the total amount of $3,207,568 and           
          the related net operating loss carryback and refund claimed for             
          1993.                                                                       






          4    Previously, in 1994, petitioner had filed an amended                   
          individual Federal income tax return for 1993 to claim a foreign            
          currency transaction loss that petitioner had not claimed on his            
          original 1994 tax return.
