                 1986                                                                 
                        Farm gross income       303,939         300,939

               In making this determination, respondent recomputed and                
          annualized Imperial's income and expenses from its fiscal years             
          to petitioners' calendar years.  In calculating depreciation,               
          respondent eliminated a basis step-up purportedly derived from              
          petitioners' sale of assets to Imperial.  Finally, respondent               
          allocated the income and expenses between petitioners, 50 percent           
          to LaVern Scherping and 50 percent to Loren Scherping, with                 
          appropriate allowances for farm-related income each petitioner              
          had previously reported.  In determining petitioners' incomes,              
          respondent did not allow any deduction for interest expense                 
          Imperial had claimed as a deduction on its returns.
