                                        MEMORANDUM OPINION                                            

                  HALPERN, Judge:  Respondent determined a deficiency of                              
            $30,993 in petitioner’s 1993 Federal income tax.  The only issue                          
            to be decided is whether petitioner may exclude from gross income                         
            any portion of a payment received pursuant to a settlement                                
            agreement in 1993.                                                                        
                  Unless otherwise noted, all section references are to the                           
            Internal Revenue Code in effect for 1993, and all Rule references                         
            are to the Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure.                                     
                  Some facts have been stipulated and are so found.  The                              
            stipulation of facts, with accompanying exhibits, is incorporated                         
            herein by this reference.  We need find few facts in addition to                          
            those stipulated and, accordingly, will not separately set forth                          
            those findings.  We will include additional findings of fact in                           
            the discussion that follows.  Petitioner bears the burden of                              
            proof on all questions of facts.  Rule 142(a).                                            
                                             Background                                               
                  At the time the petition was filed, petitioner resided in                           
            Monroe, New York.                                                                         
                  Petitioner was born in 1946 and reached the age of 47 in                            
            1993.                                                                                     
                  Petitioner was employed as an attorney with Boehringer
