                  Pursuant to the 1987 and 1988 unsigned amended returns and                            
            voluntary payments, respondent assessed additional taxes in the                             
            amounts of $68,255 on September 17, 1992, for 1987, and $48,887                             
            on September 1, 1992, for 1988.                                                             
                                               OPINION                                                  
            Issue 1.  Assessments of Voluntary Payments                                                 
                  Petitioners contend that their voluntary payments submitted                           
            with unsigned amended income tax returns were improperly                                    
            assessed.  After entry of the judgment of conviction in the                                 
            criminal tax case against petitioner, and while it was on appeal,                           
            petitioners made the voluntary payments to respondent.                                      
                  In the notice of deficiency dated September 4, 1992,                                  
            respondent determined that there were deficiencies in income                                
            taxes due from petitioners in the amounts of $67,485 and $49,419                            
            for 1987 and 1988, respectively.  In paragraph 3 of their                                   
            petition filed on November 27, 1992, petitioners conceded the                               
            deficiencies in income taxes for 1987 and 1988.                                             
                  On August 10, 1994, petitioners filed an amended petition.                            
            In paragraph 2 they alleged that the deficiencies for 1987 and                              
            1988 were in dispute.  In paragraph 3 of the amended petition,                              
            however, they limited this "dispute" to an alleged error by                                 
            respondent in assessing the deficiencies.  The facts stated in                              
            paragraph 4 of the amended petition and the prayer for relief are                           
            centered around respondent's assessments of the taxes.
