          or any allocation between capitalized and deductible expenses               
          relating to the properties.                                                 
               In their agreement to settle the 1989 Fong case, petitioner            
          and respondent did not enter into a closing agreement under                 
          section 7121.  Further, petitioner and respondent did not agree             
          that the settlement agreement reached in the 1989 Fong case would           
          be treated as a final determination for purposes of the                     
          mitigation provisions of the Code, nor did petitioner and                   
          respondent agree that the effect of the settlement of the 1989              
          Fong case would be to open up, under the mitigation provisions,             
          the period of limitations with regard to petitioner’s 1986 year.            
               Despite the fact that the general 3-year period of                     
          limitations under section 6501(a) for respondent to assess a                
          deficiency against petitioner with respect to 1986 expired on               
          April 15, 1990 (3 years after the filing, on or before April 15,            
          1987, of petitioner's 1986 Federal income tax return), on                   
          December 20, 1995, respondent mailed to petitioner a notice of              
          deficiency determining a $375,173 increase in petitioner’s 1986             
          Federal income tax liability.  At the time the petition was                 
          filed, petitioner resided in Sacramento, California.                        
               Respondent’s notice of deficiency against petitioner for               
          1986 is based on respondent’s determination that the Court's                
          decision in the 1989 Fong case that was entered on March 30,                
          1995, constituted a determination under the mitigation provisions
