                                               - 10 -                                                 
                  We discussed at length whether petitioner in fact filed a                           
            return for 1986 in our previous opinion regarding respondent's                            
            motion for partial summary judgment, Joseph v. Commissioner, T.C.                         
            Memo. 1996-77.  We concluded that petitioner did not file a                               
            return for 1986, and our discussion does not merit repetition                             
            here.                                                                                     
                  Accordingly, respondent's addition to tax under section                             
            6651(a) is sustained.2                                                                    
            Addition to Tax Under Section 6654                                                        
                  Respondent determined an addition to tax under section 6654                         
            for underpayment of individual estimated tax.  Petitioner asserts                         
            that he is not liable for this addition to tax.  Petitioner                               
            failed to pay his estimated tax.  Accordingly, in light of the                            
            foregoing, we sustain the addition to tax.3                                               
                  For the foregoing reasons,                                                          


                                                            Decision will be entered                  
                                                      under Rule 155.                                 






                  2                                                                                   
                        This addition, however, must be recomputed taking into                        
            account petitioner's allowable business deductions.                                       
                  3                                                                                   
                        This addition, however, must be recomputed taking into                        
            account petitioner's allowable business deductions.
