          petitioners at the Georgia address reflecting adjustments to                
          their 1990 income tax liability.                                            
               Petitioner worked as a seasonal employee at the Internal               
          Revenue Service Center in Atlanta, Georgia (the Atlanta Service             
          Center) during the spring of 1992, 1993, and 1994.  Petitioner's            
          employment at the Atlanta Service Center terminated on April 21,            
          1994.                                                                       
               During August 1994, petitioner was evicted from the Georgia            
          address and moved to 8217 South Blackstone Avenue, Chicago,                 
          Illinois 60619 (the Chicago address).  Petitioner did not notify            
          Appeals Officer Strain of her new address.                                  
               On September 9, 1994, respondent mailed a joint notice of              
          deficiency to petitioners.  In the notice, respondent determined            
          a deficiency in petitioners' Federal income tax for the taxable             
          year 1990 in the amount of $21,340, an addition to tax in the               
          amount of $5,335 under section 6651(a)(1), and an accuracy-                 
          related penalty in the amount of $4,268 under section 6662(a).              
          The notice of deficiency was mailed to petitioners at the                   
          Georgia address.  Respondent verified the Georgia address by                
          conducting a routine search of her computer records at the time             
          that the notice of deficiency was prepared.  Respondent's file              
          does not indicate that the notice of deficiency was returned                
          undelivered by the U.S. Postal Service.
