           Sec. 7481.  Our decision      A decision under section 7436                 
           becomes final 90 days after   becomes final under the same                  
           it is entered; when the       circumstances.                                
           time to file a petition for                                                 
           certiorari expires if our                                                   
           decision has been affirmed                                                  
           or the appeal dismissed and                                                 
           no petition for certiorari                                                  
           has been filed; a petition                                                  
           for certiorari is denied;                                                   
           or 30 days after the                                                        
           Supreme Court mandates that                                                 
           our decision be affirmed or                                                 
           the appeal dismissed.                                                       
               The principles of each of the deficiency procedure sections             
          listed in section 7436(d) reasonably apply to section 7436 cases             
          even if we lack jurisdiction over amounts in dispute in section              
          7436 cases.  Thus, section 7436(d) does not create, or imply that            
          we have, jurisdiction to decide the amounts of employment tax due            
          in a case arising under section 7436.                                        
               3.   Application of Small Case Procedures to Cases Arising              
                    Under Section 7436                                                 
                    We will next consider whether references in section                
          7436(c)6 to "amounts in dispute" and the small case procedures               

               6Sec. 7436(c) provides:                                                 
                    (c) Small case procedures                                          
                         (1) In general.--At the option of the                         
                    petitioner, concurred in by the Tax Court or a                     
                    division thereof before the hearing of the case,                   
                    proceedings under this section may                                 
                    (notwithstanding the provisions of section 7453)                   
                    be conducted subject to the rules of evidence,                     
                    practice, and procedure applicable under section                   
                    7463 if the amount of employment taxes placed in                   
                    dispute is $10,000 or less for each calendar                       
                    quarter involved.                                                  
                         (2) Finality of decisions.--A decision                        
                                                               (continued...)
