          income, giving implausible explanations, and pleading guilty to             
          willful failure to file an income tax return under section 7203.            
               Considering all of the facts and circumstances of this case,           
          we find that respondent has proven by clear and convincing                  
          evidence that petitioner’s failure to file an income tax return             
          for 1995 was fraudulent.  Accordingly, petitioner is liable for             
          the section 6651(f) addition to tax for 1995.                               
               Because of our holding regarding the addition to tax under             
          section 6651(f) for fraudulent failure to file, we need not                 
          address whether petitioner is liable for the addition to tax                
          under section 6651(a)(1) for failure to file timely.                        
               We have considered petitioner’s other arguments and find               
          them to be irrelevant, moot, or meritless.                                  
               To reflect the concessions of the parties,                             

                                                  Decision will be entered            
                                             under Rule 155.
