               The deemed admissions establish the amounts of petitioner's            
          tax deficiencies for the years at issue.  Accordingly, we shall

          Issue 2.  Substantial Understatement                                        
               The next issue for decision is whether petitioner is liable            
          for additions to tax for substantial understatement of her                  
          Federal income tax pursuant to section 6661 for taxable years               
          1987 and 1988.  Section 6661 provides for an addition to tax in             
          the amount of 25 percent of the amount of any underpayment                  
          attributable to a substantial understatement of tax.  A                     
          substantial understatement exists if the amount of the                      
          understatement for the taxable year exceeds the greater of (i) 10           
          percent of the tax required to be shown on the return, or (ii)              
          $5,000.  Sec. 6661(b)(1)(A).                                                
               We observe that, in the deemed admissions, petitioner is               
          deemed to admit the following:
