                                       - 15 -                                         
          substantially understated their tax for 1989 by claiming a                  
          carryover from the same alleged loss.                                       
               Petitioners conceded the deduction for 1989 because the                
          carryover loss had been fully utilized prior thereto5.   We have            
          sustained respondent’s determination that petitioners are liable            
          for the section 6653(a)(1) and section 6661 addition to tax for             
          1988.  We likewise sustain respondent’s determination that                  
          petitioners are liable for the accuracy-related penalty under               
          section 6662(a) for 1989.                                                   
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              
                                                  Decisions will be entered           
                                             under Rule 155.                          




















               5    Petitioners had failed to file an election to                     
          relinquish the carryback pursuant to sec. 172(b)(3)(C). See                 
          discussion supra, p. 8.
