          represents management fees in the amount of $25,000 and other               
          income in the amount of $17,202.  The other income included                 
          $6,400 of equipment rental fees which accrued in 1983, equipment            
          rental fees earned in 1984, and miscellaneous reimbursements.               
          The Form 1099 for 1985 was in the amount of $12,000, representing           
          payment of equipment rental fees for that year.  During 1988, the           
          partnership issued to petitioner, and sent to the Internal                  
          Revenue Service, a 1987 Form 1099 reflecting $190,000 of                    
          nonemployee compensation.                                                   
               The accrued management fees were not reported on Schedules             
          K-1 “Partner’s Share of Income, Credits, Deductions, etc.,” as              
          guaranteed payments to petitioner or otherwise reported to                  
          petitioner on IRS informational forms as taxable income during              
          any of the years 1983 through 1986.  The management fees accrued            
          were not reported on a 1987 Schedule K-1 “Partner’s Share of                
          Income, Credits, Deductions, etc.,” as guaranteed payments to               
          petitioner.  Scott Beane, the accountant who prepared the                   
          partnership’s returns and Schedules K-1 for 1986 and 1987, did              
          not treat the management fees as payments to petitioner because             
          he assumed that they accrued to a corporation owned by petitioner           
          and not to him personally.  The partnership’s books, however,               
          indicate that the amounts accrued to petitioner accrued to him              
          personally and not to an entity related to him.  Neither                    
          petitioner nor Mr. White advised any of the persons who kept the            
          partnership’s books or prepared its tax returns that the
