          investors through illegal acts, including mail fraud and money              
          laundering (promotion and concealment) on October 18, 1994.  He is          
          presently serving a 6-1/2 year prison sentence.                             
               At the time of trial herein, petitioners had recovered                 
          approximately $25,000 out of their total $375,000 investment with           
          Pioneer Mortgage.                                                           
          Forms 1099                                                                  
               In 1991, Pioneer Service Co. (the trustee in bankruptcy)               
          issued to petitioners two Forms 1099-INT, in the amounts of                 
          $12,833.37 and $33,416.10,6 with regard to the payments labeled             
          "interest" on the CMO loan and the remaining loans, respectively.           
          Petitioners’ 1990 Federal Income Tax Return                                 
               Petitioners’ accountant, Kenneth B. Healey, prepared                   
          petitioners' 1990 Federal income tax return.  Because of the                
          document matching program that the Internal Revenue Service                 
          employed, Mr. Healey determined that petitioners should report as           
          interest income the amount ($46,2497) reported on the two Forms             
          1099-INT from Pioneer Service Co. and wash that amount out by               
          claiming $46,249 as negative income on line 22 (Other income) of            
          their 1990 Form 1040.                                                       



               6    The parties acknowledge that this amount is $1,853.50             
          more than the $44,396 petitioners actually received from Pioneer            
          Mortgage in 1990.                                                           
               7    The $46,249 comprises the sum total of the amounts                
          reported on the Forms 1099-INT issued to petitioners for 1990.
