                                                - 9 -                                                 
                  Petitioners fail to address this issue in meaningful detail.                        
            They limit their argument to the contention that there is no                              
            underlying deficiency.  Accordingly, under the facts and                                  
            circumstances of this case, we conclude that petitioners have not                         
            carried their burden of refuting respondent's determination with                          
            respect to this issue.  Respondent's determination is sustained.6                         
                  To reflect the foregoing,                                                           
                                                            Decision will be                          
                                                      entered under Rule 155.                         























                  6Respondent also argues that petitioners were negligent, but                        
            because we hold petitioners liable for the accuracy-related                               
            penalty due to their substantial understatement of income tax, we                         
            do not address the negligence issue.
