                                         -4-                                          
          after the later of (1) the date the partnership return for such             
          year was filed or (2) the last day for filing such return for               
          such year (without regard to extensions).3  However, section                
          6229(d) provides that the mailing of a final partnership                    
          administrative adjustment suspends the running of the 3-year                
          limitations period for the period during which an action may be             
          brought under section 6226 (and, if an action is brought, until             
          the decision of the court has become final) and for 1 year                  
          thereafter.                                                                 
               The stipulation of facts includes a copy of the decision               
          entered regarding Barbados, which is dated December 6, 1993.                
          Under section 6229(d)(2), the running of the 3-year period of               
          limitations for assessing a deficiency attributable to a 1982               
          partnership item was suspended for 1 year after the date the                
          decision entered on December 6, 1993, became final.  The decision           
          became final no earlier than March 6, 1994 (90 days after it was            
          entered).  Secs. 7481(a)(1), 7483.  The notice of deficiency was            
          issued to petitioner on February 3, 1995.  Consequently, the                
          notice of deficiency relating to the affected items (the                    
          additions to tax) was timely issued.                                        
          2.  Negligence                                                              
               Section 6653(a)(1) imposes an addition to tax if any portion           
          of an underpayment is due to negligence or intentional disregard            

               3The additions to tax determined by respondent are affected            
          items.  Sec. 301.6231(a)(5)-1T(d), Temporary Proced. & Admin.               
          Regs., 52 Fed. Reg. 6790 (Mar. 5, 1987).
