          $18,112.25, and the taxable amount as the difference or                     
          $154,446.89.                                                                
               On their Federal income tax return for 1989, petitioners               
          disclosed the receipt of the Transfer Refund.  Specifically, on             
          line 17a of Form 1040, petitioners entered $154,447 as the amount           
          of "Total pensions and annuities".  On line 17b they reported               
          $84,447 as the taxable amount thereof, and immediately below such           
          entry they disclosed that the balance, or $70,000, was rolled               
          over.  Petitioners included the $84,447 amount in taxable income            
          and paid regular income tax thereon.  See sec. 1(a).                        
               Petitioners also attached to their 1989 income tax return              
          Form 5329 (Return for Individual Retirement Arrangement and                 
          Qualified Retirement Plans Taxes).  In Part II of such form,                
          petitioners reported liability for the 10-percent additional tax            
          imposed by section 72(t) on early distributions from qualified              
          retirement plans.  Petitioners computed the additional tax as               
          follows:                                                                    

                    Total distribution received        $172,559                       
                    Taxable amount                      154,447                       
                    Less: amount rolled over            -70,000                       
                    Balance                              84,447                       
                    10 percent rate of tax                x .10                       
                    Sec. 72(t) additional tax             8,445                       
               Petitioners combined their liability for the section 72(t)             
          additional tax with their liability for the regular income tax in           
          reporting their total tax liability on page 2 of their Form 1040            
          for 1989.
