            1   The adjustments for "1120S flow thru" and "unreported                                 
                  income" relate to an indirect method of reconstructing                              
                  income and are attributable principally to personal                                 
                  living expenses.                                                                    
                  Respondent issued two separate notices of deficiency because                        
            petitioners had previously filed a power of attorney with                                 
            respondent naming an accountant, Harold Marley (Mr. Marley), as                           
            their attorney-in-fact for the taxable years 1993 and 1994.  In                           
            addition to issuing the notice of deficiency for 1993 and 1994 to                         
            petitioners, respondent mailed a copy of the notice to Mr.                                
            Marley.  On the other hand, because petitioners did not file a                            
            power of attorney with respondent in respect of the taxable year
