          is not liable for part or all of the additions to tax for fraud             
          for 1986, then petitioner is liable for negligence additions to             
          tax under subparagraphs (A) and (B) of section 6653(a)(1).

          to sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, or the Internal           
          Revenue Code of 1986, as in effect for the respective years in              
          issue.
