               Following concessions by the parties,1 the issues for decision         
          are:                                                                        
               (1) Whether petitioners are entitled to a claimed $650,000             
          theft loss in 1985 that would permit them a net operating loss              
          carryover deduction in 1988.  We hold that petitioners are not              
          entitled to the claimed theft loss in 1985.                                 
               (2) Whether petitioners are liable for the addition to tax             
          under section 6653(a)(1) for 1988.  We hold that petitioners are so         
          liable.                                                                     
               (3) Whether petitioners are liable for the addition to tax             
          under section 6661 for 1988.  We hold that petitioners are so               
          liable.                                                                     
               (4) Whether petitioners are liable for the accuracy-related            
          penalty under section 6662 (a) for 1989.  We hold that petitioners          
          are so liable.

          FINDINGS OF FACT

          Background                                                                  
               Petitioners, husband and wife, resided in Escondido,                   

               1    Respondent has conceded that petitioners are not liable           
          for the sec. 6651 addition to tax for 1988.  Petitioners have               
          conceded the deficiency for 1989.
