     1  Petitioners reported this income on Form 1040, line 8 (wages, etc.), and not line 13 (business income).  Also,              
     the retained copy of the tax return did not include a Schedule C or a Schedule SE.  However, the amounts of the                
     self-employment taxes shown on petitioners’ tax returns for 1978 through 1982 appear to be correct for the amount              
     of income shown.
