          van pool. (These canceled checks were not introduced into                    
          evidence.)  Mr. Bullock failed to maintain a mileage log or a                
          separate bank account for his van pool activities.                           
               Mr. Bullock prepared a summary of his income and expenses at            
          the end of each year for use by his tax return preparer.  On their           
          1993 and 1994 Federal income tax returns, the Bullocks reported              
          income, expenses, and net losses from the van pool activity as               
          follows:                                                                     
                                  1993                     1994

          Expenses:

          Total expenses                  10,743                   10,800              
          Loss                          (4,723)                   (8,793)              
          IRS’ Position and Determinations                                             
               Respondent determined that Messrs. Fields, Bullock, Sharpe,             
          and Peacock each received unreported cash distributions from 4 Leaf          
          Corp. from the bingo operations conducted at Buckroe.  The amounts           
          now ascribed to each of them from these activities by respondent             
          are $13,604 for 1993 and $26,509.75 for 1994.  (The deficiencies in          
          tax as set forth in the notices of deficiencies were based on                
          greater amounts of purported unreported income.)
