                                                 Fraud                                
                         Year    Deficiency     Penalty                               
                         1992     $18,087       $13,565                               
                         1993     15,653        11,740                                
                         1994     17,073        12,805                                

               In respondent's answer, respondent alleged in the alterna-             
          tive, inter alia, that petitioners fraudulently and with intent             
          to evade tax understated their income tax liability for 1992,               
          1993, and 1994 in the amounts of $26,132, $30,201, and $39,712,             
          respectively.                                                               
               The issues remaining for decision are:                                 
               (1)  Do petitioners have unreported income reconstructed               
          under the bank deposits method for 1992, 1993, and 1994?  We hold           
          that they do in the amounts of $73,233.69, $80,607, and $103,724,           
          respectively.2                                                              
               (2)  Are petitioners liable for the fraud penalty under                
          section 6663 for each of the years 1992, 1993, and 1994?  We hold           
          that they are.                                                              
               (3)  Did the period of limitations for 1992 prescribed by              
          section 6501 expire?  In light of our holding in (2) above, we              
          hold under section 6501(c)(1) that it did not.                              



               2  During the trial in this case, the parties agreed that              
          petitioners have unreported income attributable to their personal           
          use of restaurant goods for each of the years at issue in the               
          amount of $2,600.
