            from the State of Connecticut reflecting unemployment                                         
            compensation paid in the amount of $2,016.                                                    
                  Petitioner became employed by Mark Industries (Mark)                                    
            sometime in February 1993.  Mark's records reflect that                                       
            petitioner was paid wages in 1993 in the amount of $40,125.02.                                
            Petitioner was issued a Form W-2 by Mark in January 1994                                      
            reflecting wages paid in the amount of $40,125.02.                                            
                  Petitioner did not file a Federal income tax return for                                 
            1993.  Respondent prepared a substitute return reflecting the                                 
            unemployment compensation and the wage income.  The notice of                                 
            deficiency determined that petitioner failed to file a 1993                                   
            Federal income tax return and determined a deficiency based on                                
            the failure to report unemployment compensation and wage income.                              
            The notice of deficiency also determined an addition to tax for                               
            failure to file a return.                                                                     
                  Petitioner argues that he decided not to file a return                                  
            because of alleged illegal and corrupt activity by State and                                  
            Federal officials.  Petitioner further asserts that employees of                              
            Mark were engaged in illegal activities including alteration of                               
            records reflecting hours actually worked by petitioner and other                              
            employees.                                                                                    
                  Respondent's determination in the notice of deficiency is                               
            presumed correct, and the taxpayer has the burden of proving                                  
            error therein.  Rule 142(a); Welch v. Helvering, 290 U.S. 111                                 
            (1933).
