                    Tax Year                 Deficiency                               
                    1990                     $35,219                                  
                    1991                     60,129

          After concessions, the only issue is whether payments received by           
          petitioners in 1990, 1991, and 1992 should have been reported as            
          income in those years.                                                      
               Unless otherwise noted, all section references are to the              
          Internal Revenue Code in effect for the years in issue, and all             
          Rule references are to the Tax Court Rules of Practice and                  
          Procedure.                                                                  
               Some of the facts have been stipulated and are so found.               
          The stipulation of facts, with accompanying exhibits, is                    
          incorporated by this reference.  We need find few facts in                  
          addition to those stipulated and, accordingly, will not                     
          separately set forth those findings.  We include our additional             
          findings of fact in the discussion that follows.  Petitioners               
          bear the burden of proof on all questions of fact.  Rule 142(a).            
                                     Background                                       
               At the time the petition was filed, petitioners resided in             
          Park Rapids, Minnesota.  Petitioners filed joint returns for the            
          taxable (calendar) years in question and used the cash method of            
          accounting.                                                                 
               From about November 1, 1980, until sometime in the late                
          1980's, petitioner Larry A. Monico (Larry Monico) was an equal              
          partner with R.D. Offut Co. (Offut Co.), a Minnesota corporation,
