               Petitioner also owned and operated a pest control business             
          that served a 50-mile area in and around Broome County.                     
          Petitioner operated this pest control business from his home and            
          an office located at the 99-101 Robinson Street, Binghamton,                
          property.  Petitioner reported no income or expense from this               
          business.  In the absence of any proof of income or of expense,             
          we leave this matter where the parties left it.                             
               The Broome County Department of Social Services (Social                
          Services) reported on a Form 1099-MISC that it paid $26,618.70 to           
          petitioner in 1991.  This amount represented rental payments for            
          clients of Social Services who occupied apartments in                       
          petitioner's properties.  According to documents from Social                
          Services, petitioner received payments in 1991 from Social                  
          Services with respect to the following properties:                          
               53 Mary Street, Binghamton, New York                                   
               99-101 Robinson Street, Binghamton, New York                           
               18 Pleasant Avenue, Binghamton, New York                               
               RD 2, Box 133 and Box 134, Conklin, New York                           
               The Form 1099-MISC from Social Services was issued in                  
          petitioner's name only.  Neither petitioner, nor his wife,                  
          reported this income on a 1991 tax return.  Petitioner conceded             
          that he failed to file Federal income tax returns since 1984.               
               Respondent determined petitioner's tax liability based on              
          the $26,618.70 reported on the Form 1099-MISC from Social                   
          Services, as well as on $5 of unreported interest income from               
          Marine Midland Bank.  Respondent computed the deficiency with the
