          Year    Deficiency    6651(a)(1)    6651(a)(2)     6662(a)                  
          1992     $10,407    $1,961         $1,961       $2,081                      
          1993      12,378    2,284          1,675        2,476                       
          1994       1,054    100                 88            9                     
          1995       1,496    337                 67          299                     
          In his answer, respondent asserted a claim for increased                    
          additions to tax under section 6651(a)(1)1 of $218, $253, $109,             
          and $37 for 1992, 1993, 1994, and 1995, respectively.                       
               After concessions,2 we must decide the following issues:               
               (1)  Whether petitioner is entitled to casualty loss                   
          deductions during the years 1992 through 1995 for the loss of a             
          “nonviable fetus”.  We hold he is not.                                      
               (2)  Whether petitioner is liable for additions to tax under           
          section 6651(a)(1).  We hold he is.                                         
               (3)  Whether petitioner is liable for accuracy-related                 
          penalties under section 6662(a).  We hold he is.                            



               1 Unless otherwise noted, all section references are to the            
          Internal Revenue Code in effect for the years in issue, and all             
          Rule references are to the Tax Court Rules of Practice and                  
          Procedure.                                                                  
               2 The parties have stipulated that petitioner received                 
          unreported unemployment compensation during 1994 of $6,110.  In             
          addition, respondent has conceded that petitioner is not liable             
          for additions to tax under sec. 6651(a)(2) for failure to pay for           
          any of the years in issue.  Finally, respondent concedes that               
          petitioner is entitled to mortgage interest deductions for the              
          years 1992 through 1995 of $4,158, $5,644, $4,437, and $4,384,              
          respectively, to the extent those deductions exceed the standard            
          deductions for the years in issue.
