               In 1992, petitioner placed 115,375 rolls of filament tape on           
          consignment with Advanced Coating.  In this connection, on August           
          26, 1992, petitioner issued an invoice to Advanced Coating                  
          showing the sale price of the tape as $80,762.50 for 115,375                
          rolls of filament tape, at 70 cents per roll.  On his 1992                  
          return, petitioner reported no income from the consignment to               
          Advanced Coating.                                                           
               In 1993, Advanced Coating returned all of this tape as                 
          defective.  On May 12, 1993, petitioner gave Advanced Coating a             
          credit memo for $45,243 indicating that approximately 64,633                
          rolls had been returned.  On his 1993 return petitioner claimed             
          $45,243 in returns and allowances in connection with the returned           
          tape previously consigned to Advanced Coatings.  Since Advanced             
          Coating could use none of the tape, the invoice and credit memo,            
          taken together, reflect a substantial discrepancy in the amount             
          of tape consigned and the amount returned.  Petitioner explained            
          this discrepancy as "Well, only because it was just a book entry.           
          It didn't really make any difference."                                      
               Petitioner paid no Federal income tax for the years 1991               
          through 1994.  The following table reflects petitioner's wage
