          in 1991.  Petitioner received $6,868 in nonemployee compensation            
          from Geographic General in 1991.  Petitioner received $886 in               
          nonemployee compensation from the University of Wisconsin in                
          1991.  Petitioner received $65,6392 in nonemployee compensation             
          from Xerox Corp. in 1992.                                                   
               The parties agree that petitioner incurred deductible travel           
          expenses as follows which were not taken into account in the                
          notice of deficiency.  In December 1991, petitioner incurred                
          deductible travel expenses of $1,177.  Further, during 1992, in             
          connection with his relationship with Xerox Corp., petitioner               
          incurred $7,513 in deductible travel expenses.                              
               On October 30, 1995, this case was called for trial in                 
          Denver, Colorado.  At trial, petitioner failed to offer any                 
          evidence to support his case, documentary or testimonial;                   
          instead, he attempted to pursue tax protester arguments that have           
          been long rejected by this Court.                                           
              On brief, petitioner argues that the tax respondent is                 
          attempting to impose on his nonemployee compensation, earned as a           
          computer systems analyst, is an excise tax for which he is not              
          responsible.  Petitioner claims that the Internal Revenue                   
          Service, by collecting this excise tax and treating him as a                
          "taxpayer", exceeds its statutory authority.  Petitioner's                  


          2This amount of $65,639 reflects a concession by respondent,                
          who originally asserted that petitioner received $123,538 in                
          nonemployee compensation for the 1992 tax year.
