               Respondent determined for 2001 a deficiency in petitioner's            
          Federal income tax of $24,702 and additions to tax of $5,557.95             
          under section 6651(a)(1), an uncomputed amount under section                
          6651(a)(2), and $977.53 under section 6654(a).                              
               The parties agree that petitioner:  (a) Received wages of              
          $99,522 and unemployment compensation of $6,468, (b) is entitled            
          to a filing status of single and to claim one personal exemption,           
          (c) is entitled to deduct property taxes paid to the Harris

          University Owl Club, and (e) is not liable for the addition to              
          tax provided by section 6651(a)(2).                                         
               The issues for decision are whether petitioner:  (1) Is

          excess of those allowed by respondent, (2) is liable for the                
          addition to tax under section 6651(a)(1) for failure to file                
          timely a Federal income tax return for the year without                     
          reasonable cause, and (3) is liable for the addition to tax under           
          section 6654 for failure to pay estimated tax.                              
               The exhibits received into evidence are incorporated herein            
          by reference.  At the time the petition was filed, petitioner               
          resided in Houston, Texas.
