                  The issues for decision are:                                                           
                  (1) Whether petitioner had unreported income for the year                              
            1990, as determined by respondent.  We hold she did.                                         
                  (2) Whether petitioner is liable for a section 6651(a)                                 
            addition to tax for failure to file a 1990 Federal income tax                                
            return.  We hold she is.                                                                     
                  (3) Whether petitioner is liable for a section 6654(a)                                 
            addition to tax for failure to make estimated tax payments for                               
            1990.  We hold she is.                                                                       
                  (4) Whether petitioner should be required to pay a penalty to                          
            the United States under section 6673(a)(1).  We hold she should, in                          
            the amount of $2,500.                                                                        
                  All section references are to the Internal Revenue Code in                             
            effect for the year 1990.  All Rule references are to the Tax Court                          
            Rules of Practice and Procedure.                                                             
                                          FINDINGS OF FACT                                               
                  Despite the Court's request, no stipulation of facts was                               
            filed.  Petitioner called no witnesses.  Rather, petitioner relied                           
            on her trial memorandum, which contains nothing more than tax                                
            protester rhetoric and legalistic gibberish. Petitioner did,                                 
            however, testify.  She did so as respondent's sole witness.  For                             
            the most part, petitioner's testimony was in connection with                                 
            respondent's request for a penalty pursuant to section  6673(a)(1).
