          income, consisting of $374,000 from Chartered Representative                
          fees, $8,900 from setup fees, and $53,500 from options.  SSI's              
          own fiscal 1981 subchapter S corporation tax return reported only           
          $8,347 in gross income.  We have found that SSI's undistributed             
          taxable income for its fiscal 1981 was $108,238.39, and                     
          petitioners' 76-percent share of this is $82,261.18, which is               
          taxable to petitioners for 1981.  Supra C. SSI and Its Chartered            
          Representatives.                                                            
               Under the law then in effect, the undistributed taxable                
          income of a subchapter S corporation for a taxable year was                 
          required to be included in the gross incomes of those persons who           
          were shareholders of the corporation on the last day of that                
          taxable year of the corporation, in proportion to those                     
          shareholdings.  Sec. 1373(b).  In general, undistributed taxable            
          income was taxable income minus dividends distributed.  See                 
          1373(c).27                                                                  
               Our findings take into account the distributions that SSI              
          made to its shareholders in SSI's fiscal year ended July 31,                
          1981.  These distributions reduce the amount of SSI's fiscal 1981           
          undistributed taxable income.  The distributions made later in              
               27   These rules were substantially revised effective for              
          taxable years beginning after Dec. 31, 1982.  Secs. 2 and 6(a) of           
          the Subchapter S Revision Act of 1982, Pub. L. 97-354, 96 Stat.             
          1669, 1697.  The revisions (see especially secs. 1366-1368) do              
          not apply to SSI's taxable years ending July 31, 1981, and 1982,            
          and so do not affect the instant case.
