                         OPINION OF THE SPECIAL TRIAL JUDGE                           
               ARMEN, Special Trial Judge:  Respondent determined a                   
          deficiency in petitioners' Federal income tax for the taxable               
          year 1990 in the amount of $29,434.                                         
               The only issue for decision is whether the distribution                
          received by petitioner Sara B. Childs from her individual                   
          retirement account in 1990 is taxable under sections 408(d)(1)              
          and 72 or whether such distribution qualifies for relief pursuant           
          to section 408(d)(4).                                                       
                                  FINDINGS OF FACT                                    
               Some of the facts have been stipulated, and they are so                
          found.  Petitioners resided in Forest Hill, Maryland, at the time           
          that their petition was filed with the Court.                               
               Petitioner Sara B. Childs (petitioner) was a teacher in the            
          Baltimore County Public Schools until she retired on November 1,            
          1989.                                                                       
          Petitioner's Transfer Refund Distribution                                   
               As an employee of the Baltimore County Public Schools,                 
          petitioner was originally a member of the Maryland State                    
          Teachers' Retirement System (the Retirement System).  However, on           
          September 29, 1989, petitioner elected to transfer to the                   
          Maryland State Teachers' Pension System (the Pension System).
