          3.  The Deficiencies                                                        
               (a)  Unreported Income From the Partnerships                           
               In the notice of deficiency, respondent determined that                
          petitioner failed to report fee income in the amounts of                    
          $624,000, $1,252,600, and $57,000 on his 1982, 1983, and 1984               
          returns, respectively.  Respondent also determined that                     
          petitioner had overstated his 1983 interest income by $10,524 and           
          decreased that item accordingly.  Respondent further determined             
          that petitioner's distributive share of partnership loss from               
          ADJ/Bethel Woods, Ltd., for 1983 was $56, and not $3,278 as                 
          reported on petitioner's return.  Since these matters were                  
          determined in the notice of deficiency, petitioner bears the                
          burden of proof.                                                            
               In her amendment to answer, respondent decreased her                   
          determination with respect to petitioner's 1983 partnership fee             
          income by $234,700, and increased her determination with respect            
          to 1984 partnership fee income by an equal amount.  Respondent              
          also asserts that petitioner failed to report additional                    
          partnership fee income in the amount of $153,900 in 1983.                   
          Respondent bears the burden of proof with respect to the                    
          increased deficiencies.  Rule 142(a).
