            E.    Whether Income Should Be Allocated                                                      
                  Pursuant to Section 482                                                                 
                  1.    Background                                                                        
                  By notices of deficiency, respondent determined that income                             
            should be allocated to INC and Holdings pursuant to section 482.                              
            As to INC’s taxable years ended June 30, 1985 and 1986,                                       
            respondent determined by notice of deficiency that INC had                                    
            received other income and attached as an exhibit to the notice of                             
            deficiency a list of the balances in three bank accounts.                                     
            Respondent treated the sum of the balances from the three                                     
            accounts as income to INC for each taxable year.  Respondent                                  
            never amended the income allocations as to INC’s taxable years                                
            ended June 30, 1985 and 1986.                                                                 
                  As to Holdings’ taxable years ended June 30, 1987, 1988, and                            
            1989, respondent determined by notice of deficiency that Holdings                             
            had received other income.29  Respondent allocated to INC all of                              
            LTD’s remaining net income.  Respondent calculated LTD’s                                      
            remaining net income by deducting LTD’s "direct costs" and LTD’s                              
            payment of service fees to INC from LTD’s gross receipts.                                     
            Respondent never amended the income allocations as to INC’s                                   
            taxable years ended June 30, 1987, 1988, and 1989.                                            

            29                                                                                            
                  For INC's taxable years ended June 30, 1987, 1988, and 1989,                            
            INC was joined in the consolidated income tax returns filed by                                
            Holdings.  Accordingly, respondent's income allocations to INC                                
            pursuant to sec. 482 affect the income tax liability of Holdings.                             
            For convenience and clarity, we make reference to INC only and                                
            include Holdings in such references.
