                                       OPINION                                        
               LARO, Judge:  This case was submitted to the Court fully               
          stipulated.  See Rule 122.  Petitioner petitioned the Court to              
          redetermine respondent's determination of deficiencies of                   
          $347,583 and $27,578 in its 1988 and 1989 Federal income taxes.             
          We must decide whether section 83(h) prevents petitioner from               
          currently deducting the value of stock that it transferred to its           
          employees in 1988 as compensation for services.  We hold it                 
          does.1  Unless otherwise indicated, section references are to the           
          Internal Revenue Code in effect for the subject years.  Rule                
          references are to the Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure.            
                                     Background                                       
               All facts have been stipulated.  The stipulations of fact              
          and the exhibits submitted therewith are incorporated herein by             
          this reference.  Petitioner is an accrual method corporation                
          whose principal place of business was in Detroit, Michigan, when            
          it petitioned the Court.  It was owned as follows during the                
          subject years:                                                              







               1 The deficiency for 1989 results entirely from respondent's           
          determination that a research and development credit that                   
          petitioner claimed for 1989, as a carryover from 1988, was usable           
          in full in 1988.  We sustain respondent's determination for 1989            
          as a result of our holding on the deduction issue.
