          income tax return for the 1994 tax year.  The IRS mailed similar            
          letters to petitioner for the 1989-93 tax years.                            
               In a notice of deficiency dated April 18, 1997, respondent             
          determined a deficiency in petitioner's 1994 Federal income tax             
          in the amount of $2,644.  The deficiency is based on petitioner's           
          failure to report wage income of $16,445, interest income of $50,           
          and unemployment income of $7,360.  Respondent calculated the               
          deficiency based on single-filing status, one personal exemption            
          allowance, and the standard deduction.                                      
               In January 1998, after the filing of the petition in this              
          case, petitioner filed his 1994 Federal income tax return with              
          the IRS in Ogden, Utah.  Petitioner sought to withdraw his Tax              
          Court petition and litigate the issue of the taxability of his              
          income in a United States District Court.2                                  
                                       OPINION                                        
          1.  Federal Income Tax Exemption                                            
               Petitioner contends that he is exempt from Federal income              
          tax based on language contained in the Treaty of the Six                    









          2    Petitioner's oral motion to withdraw his Tax Court petition            
          was made at the call of the calendar on Mar. 2, 1998, and was               
          denied.
