                                        - 3 -                                         

               A petition was filed timely challenging all of respondent's            
          determinations.  No overpayments of tax were alleged in the                 
          pleadings.  The case has never proceeded to trial.  Two                     
          stipulations of settled issues have been filed by the parties.              
          One of the stipulations includes an agreement by the parties to             
          be bound by the outcome of a then pending case.  The decision in            
          that case has since become final.  The other stipulation resolves           
          all of the other issues in the present case.                                
               Petitioner was a resident of California when the petition              
          was filed.                                                                  
               The parties agree that, in accordance with the stipulations            
          of settled issues, the deficiencies in tax are $297,478 and                 
          $168,178, respectively, for 1980 and 1981; there is no addition             
          to tax due from petitioner for 1980 under section 6653(a); there            
          is no addition to tax due from petitioner for 1981 under section            
          6653(a)(1) and (2); and, for the years 1980 and 1981, $295,309              
          and $167,178, respectively, are substantial underpayments                   
          attributable to tax-motivated transactions and thus subject to              
          increased interest under section 6621(c).  The parties do not now           
          question these amounts.                                                     
               At issue is whether this Court has jurisdiction to apply, to           
          petitioner's 1980 tax year, the portion of an overpayment by                
          petitioner for his 1973 tax year that respondent applied to an              
          unpaid assessed tax liability for petitioner's 1975 tax year.
