          additions to tax due from Jaussaud Enterprises, as follows:                 
                        Additions to Tax                                              
          Year Ended   Income Tax  Sec. 6651(a)(1)  Sec. 6651(a)(2)   Sec. 6654       
          2/28/91     $41,965        $9,803           $10,716         $2,487          
               Unless indicated otherwise, all section references are to the          
          Internal Revenue Code for the year in issue, and all Rule                   
          references are to the Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure.            
               The disputed transferee liability arises as a result of the            
          conveyance of certain real property from Jaussaud Enterprises to            
          petitioner during 1990.  We must herein decide whether petitioner           
          is liable as a transferee under section 6901 as a result of that            
          conveyance.  In resolving this issue, we must decide whether by             
          virtue of section 3439.09 of the California Civil Code (West 1997)          
          the period of limitations for assessing transferee liability                
          against petitioner expired before respondent's issuance of the              
          notice of transferee liability.  Subsumed in this latter issue is           
          the question of whether the Commissioner is bound by a State                
          limitations period when relying on State law to collect unpaid              
          taxes.                                                                      
                                  FINDINGS OF FACT                                    
               Some of the facts have been stipulated and are so found.  The          
          stipulations of facts and the attached exhibits are incorporated            
          herein by this reference.                                                   
               At the time the petition was filed, petitioner resided in Los          
          Angeles, California.  Petitioner is unmarried.  He filed his tax
