               Having declined, because we lack jurisdiction over the                 
          subject matter, to address the argument of A. Lee Petersen                  
          (petitioner) that respondent’s claims against petitioner were               
          discharged in bankruptcy, we hold that petitioner committed fraud           
          within the meaning of section 6653(b).  Because we dismiss INI              
          Builders, Inc. (INI), a dissolved corporation, as a party for               
          lack of jurisdiction, we do not address whether INI is liable for           
          a deficiency or additions to tax for fraud and substantial                  
          understatement under sections 6653(b) and 6661.

          Background                                                                  
               On August 20, 1993, respondent issued notices of deficiency            
          to petitioner and INI.  On November 16, 1993, petitioner timely             
          filed a petition with this Court on his and INI’s behalf.  At the
