          6512(b)(3)(B); Commissioner v. Lundy, 516 U.S. 235, 243-244                  
          (1996); Stevens v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1996-250.                        
               The only tax payments petitioner made for 1994 were                     
          withholding credits.  Such payments are deemed to have been paid             
          as of April 15, 1995.  See sec. 6513(b)(1).3  Since the                      
          withholding taxes were paid more than 2 years before the notice              
          of deficiency was mailed, petitioner is not entitled to a refund             
          of any part of an overpayment for 1994.  We therefore hold that              
          the statutorily imposed time limitations of sections 6511 and                
          6512 bar us from determining that petitioner is entitled to a                
          refund with respect to his 1994 tax.  See Commissioner v. Lundy,             



               2(...continued)                                                         
               immediately preceding the filing of the claim.                          
                    (B)  Limit where claim not filed within 3-year                     
               period.--If the claim was not filed within such 3-year                  
               period, the amount of the credit or refund shall not                    
               exceed the portion of the tax paid during the 2 years                   
               immediately preceding the filing of the claim.                          
                    (C)  Limit if no claim filed.--If no claim was                     
               filed, the credit or refund shall not exceed the amount                 
               which would be allowable under subparagraph (A) or (B),                 
               as the case may be, if claim was filed on the date the                  
               credit or refund is allowed.                                            
               3  Sec. 6513(b)(1) provides in pertinent part:                          
                    (1) Any tax actually deducted and withheld at the                  
               source during any calendar year * * * shall * * * be                    
               deemed to have been paid by him on the 15th day of the                  
               fourth month following the close of his taxable year                    
               with respect to which such tax is allowable as a credit                 
               under section 31.
