               MANUEL J. SERPA, JR. AND PATRICIA A. SERPA, Petitioners                
                   v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent                    


               Docket No. 8209-94.                 Filed December 28, 1998.

               COLVIN, Judge:  Respondent determined that petitioners had a           
          $12,017 deficiency in income tax for 1991.  The sole issue for              
          decision is whether part of the $150,000 petitioners received in            
          settlement of a tort action is prejudgment interest, and, if so,            
          whether it is excludable from gross income as damages for a
