               The issues we must decide are: (1)  Whether respondent                 
          properly recharacterized rental income petitioners received                 
          during the taxable years at issue as nonpassive income pursuant             
          to section 469, and (2) whether petitioners are liable for                  
          accuracy-related penalties for the taxable years at issue.                  
               The parties submitted this case fully stipulated pursuant to           
          Rule 122, and the stipulated facts are so found.  Petitioners               
          resided in Mukwonago, Wisconsin, at the time they filed their               
          petition.

          lessor, executed a 3-year standard office lease (Lease) with

          Street, Mukwonago, Wisconsin (Rochester Street building).                   
               The terms of the Lease required the lessee to make monthly             
          rental payments in the amount of $900, for a total rent of
