               Year           Due                 Filed

          Respondent determined in the notice of deficiency to the                    
          individual petitioners additions to tax for delinquency computed            
          without regard to the extensions of time.                                   
               Petitioners relied almost entirely on their accountants for            
          purposes of taking care of the corporate petitioner's monthly and           
          yearly books and financial records, and corporate and personal              
          tax returns.  For the corporate petitioner, Ms. Stroud relied               
          upon the green sheets prepared by Mr. Sutton and the corporate              
          bank statements.  It is not clear what materials the individual             
          petitioners furnished to Ms. Stroud for the preparation of their            
          individual tax returns.  However, Ms. Stroud did not have the               
          Suttons' personal bank statements when she prepared their                   
          returns.                                                                    
          Respondent's Determinations                                                 
               The Corporate Petitioner                                               
               Respondent reconstructed the corporate petitioner's income             
          for its taxable years ended September 30, 1987 through 1990,                
          based on the accounting and bank records that were available.               
          Revenue Agent Joseph Board (Mr. Board) compiled a list of                   
          specific unexplained bank deposits for the corporate petitioner's           
          taxable years ended September 30, 1987 through 1989.  Those
