          In addition petitioner also worked for Motel 6 during 1991 and              
          received wage income in the amount of $5,963.                               
               In the notice of deficiency respondent determined that                 
          petitioner received wage income from Motel 6 in the above amount            
          and that petitioner received additional income based upon BLS               
          statistics in the amount of $11,606.  Respondent further                    
          determined that this additional income was subject to the self-             
          employment tax.  We find that petitioner received wage income               
          from Motel 6 as determined in the notice of deficiency, that he             
          had income from Everex, Heritage, and Peppermill in the amounts             
          listed above, and that none of the income is subject to the self-           
          employment tax.  In doing so, we reject the portion of                      
          respondent's adjustment that is based upon BLS statistics.                  
               1992                                                                   
               In 1992 petitioner was employed by Motel 6.  He earned                 
          $9,328, and respondent appropriately made such an adjustment in             
          the notice of deficiency.  We accept petitioner's assertion that            
          he had no other income for the year 1992.  Consequently, we                 
          reject the portion of respondent's adjustment based upon BLS                
          statistics.  Because petitioner was married as of the close of              
          1992, his Federal income tax liability for 1992 must be computed            
          accordingly.                                                                
          Section 6651(a)(1) Addition to Tax                                          
               For each year in issue respondent determined that petitioner           
          is liable for the addition to tax under section 6651(a)(1) for
