          Criminal Investigation and Respondent's Determination                       
               On November 1, 1989, special agents of the IRS Criminal                
          Investigation Division executed a search warrant on the nursery.            
          As a result, IRS agents seized several boxes of records.  The               
          agents located the two sets of ledgers.  On the same date,                  
          Mr. Gandy gave his voluntary consent to a search of person,                 
          premises or conveyance.  As a result of the consensual search of            
          the Gandy residence, IRS agents seized several boxes of records,            
          including customer invoices, real estate records, financial                 
          records, and $32,874 in currency.                                           
               For 1985, 1986, and 1987, respondent used the specific items           
          method to determine petitioners' income.  Respondent                        
          reconstructed petitioners' Schedule F income from the nursery's             
          records, using primarily the nursery's invoices.  During the                
          course of the criminal investigation, IRS special agents sent a             
          form letter to more than 200 customers of the nursery requesting            
          information concerning their purchases from the nursery.                    
          Information on petitioners' interest income from the mortgage               
          loans was obtained by contacting the individual borrowers that              
          were listed in the divorce records.
