              A.  1990                                                                
              In 1990, Taxman paid $310 to Garry Pearson, an attorney whom            
         petitioner consulted regarding his 1982, 1983, and 1984 tax                  
         returns.  Also in 1990, Taxman made two payments totaling $2,147             
         to West Far-Mor Credit Union in satisfaction of a 1989 loan to               
         petitioner.  Petitioner did not report either payment as income              
         on his 1990 tax return.                                                      
              B.  1991                                                                
              In January 1991, Taxman issued two checks to petitioner                 
         totaling $2,052.  Petitioner did not report the $2,052 as income             
         on his 1991 tax return.                                                      
              Also in January 1991, petitioner bought several pieces of               
         furniture from Conlin’s Furniture (Conlin’s).  The total price of            
         the furniture was $4,034.10.  The cost of the furniture was                  
         charged to petitioner’s Visa card in January and April 1991.                 
         Taxman made all the payments on petitioner’s Visa during 1991 and            
         1992.  For 1991 and 1992, Taxman paid $2,086 and $1,904,                     
         respectively, toward the furniture purchase.4  Petitioner did not            
         include the amount paid for the furniture from Conlin’s as income            
         on his 1991 or 1992 personal income tax return.                              



               4The notice of deficiency states that Taxman paid only                 
          $1,904.  However, the credit card statements reflect that Taxman            
          paid $1,948.10 toward the furniture purchase in 1992.  For                  
          simplicity’s sake, we refer to the 1992 amount as $1,904 as                 
          stated in the notice of deficiency.
