                                        - 3 -                                         
          Federal income tax purposes contributions made to the plan would            
          be deductible from the PC's gross income.  Respondent's                     
          determination letter, however, indicated that with respect to the           
          pension plan, due to anticipated legislation, the determination             
          letter was only effective until the end of 1975.                            
               During 1990 and 1991, petitioner no longer practiced law               
          through his PC, rather petitioner practiced law as a sole                   
          proprietor.                                                                 
               In each of the years 1990 and 1991, petitioner deposited               
          $30,000 into an account maintained in his name apparently at a              
          stock brokerage company allegedly as a contribution to the above            
          money purchase pension plan.                                                
               On their 1990 and 1991 joint Federal income tax returns,               
          petitioners claimed Schedule C deductions with respect to each of           
          the above $30,000 deposits into the stock brokerage account.                
          These deposits were reflected on petitioners’ joint income tax              
          returns as deductible contributions to a qualified pension and              
          profit sharing plan.                                                        
               In amended joint Federal income tax returns for 1990 and               
          1991 and to reflect the percentage-of-gross-income limitation               
          applicable to deductible pension plan contributions, petitioners            
          reduced the amount of the claimed Schedule C deductions with                
          respect to the above deposits into the stock brokerage account to           
          $11,898 for 1990 and $22,339 for 1991.
