               Respondent now concedes that petitioner overpaid his 1993              
          Federal income tax by $6,267.65.  The sole issue for decision is            
          whether we have jurisdiction under section 6512(b) to award a               
          refund of his overpayment for 1993.  We hold that we do not.                
               Unless otherwise indicated, section references are to the              
          Internal Revenue Code as amended.  Rule references are to the Tax           
          Court Rules of Practice and Procedure.                                      
                                  FINDINGS OF FACT                                    
               Some of the facts have been stipulated and are so found.               
               Petitioner lived in Littleton, Colorado, when he filed the             
          petition.                                                                   
          A.   Petitioner's Federal Income Tax Returns for 1991 and 1992              
               Petitioner had extensions to file his 1991 return on August            
          15, 1992, and his 1992 return on October 15, 1993.  He filed his            
          1991 return on September 28, 1992, and his 1992 return on August            
          23, 1994.                                                                   
          B.   Preparation of Petitioner's 1993 Return                                
               Petitioner's preparer, Richard Ball (Ball) of Ball                     
          Accounting & Data Centers, Inc., prepared a joint Federal income            
          tax return for 1993 for petitioner and his wife, Michelle James.            
          Ball had prepared tax returns for petitioner for more than 15               
          years before 1993.  During that time, Ball prepared and                     
          petitioner filed many tax returns, such as gasoline excise tax              
          returns, for petitioner and for his two corporations.
