cases, raised issues regarding additions to tax for negligence
and valuation overstatement. We have found the taxpayers liable
for the additions to tax in all but one of the opinions to date
on these issues, although procedural rulings have involved many
more favorable results for taxpayers.9

9 In Zidanich v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1995-382, we held
the taxpayers liable for the sec. 6659 addition to tax, but not
liable for the negligence additions to tax under sec. 6653(a).
As indicated in our opinion, the Zidanich case, and the Steinberg
case consolidated with it for opinion, involved exceptional
circumstances.
In Estate of Satin v. Commissioner, supra, and Fisher v.
Commissioner, supra, after the decision in Provizer v.
Commissioner, supra, the taxpayers were allowed to elect to
accept a beneficial settlement because of exceptional
circumstances. In Farrell v. Commissioner, supra, we rejected
the taxpayers' claim to a similar belated settlement arrangement
since the circumstances were different and the taxpayers
previously had rejected settlement and elected to litigate the
case. See also Zenkel v. Commissioner, supra; Baratelli v.
Commissioner, supra.
