                                        - 12 -                                         

          (1985).  The term "disregard" includes any careless, reckless, or            
          intentional disregard of rules or regulations.  Sec. 6662(c).                
               Just as with respondent's deficiency determination, his                 
          determination of negligence or intentional disregard of rules or             
          regulations is prima facie correct, with the burden of proof to              
          the contrary on petitioner.  See Neely v. Commissioner, supra.               
               Petitioner did not address the section 6662 penalty issue at            
          trial.  Petitioner has failed to carry his burden of proof, and              
          we sustain respondent's determination of the penalty.                        
               To reflect the foregoing,                                               
                                                   Decision will be entered            
                                              under Rule 155.
