                        Laura L. Yoshihara (Mrs.  Yoshihara)

                     Additions to tax                                                 
          Year      Deficiency     Sec. 6651(a)(1)          Sec. 6654                 
          1992      $48,493        $12,123                  $2,112                    
          1993      19,493         4,873                    818                       
               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, unless otherwise                 
          indicated.                                                                  
               After concessions,1 the issues for decision are:  (1)                  
          Whether petitioners had unreported income from landscaping                  
          services for the taxable years 1992, 1993, 1994, and 1995.  We              
          hold they did.  (2) Whether Mr. Yoshihara incurred self-                    
          employment tax for the taxable years 1992, 1993, 1994, and 1995.            


               1On brief, respondent states that the notice of deficiency             
          relating to 1992 and 1993 sent to Krista A. Yoshihara was only a            
          protective measure to avoid a whipsaw situation.  Accordingly,              
          respondent concedes that there is no deficiency against Krista A.           
          Yoshihara for 1992 and 1993 if we sustain the deficiencies                  
          against petitioners Paul I. Yoshihara and Laura L. Yoshihara.               
          Although the deficiency amounts for 1993 will be recalculated               
          under a Rule 155 computation to reflect our findings, this                  
          decision does not place respondent in a whipsaw situation.                  
          Therefore, the deficiency determined for Krista A. Yoshihara is             
          conceded.  Consequently, the term "petitioners" in the remainder            
          of this opinion refers exclusively to Paul I. Yoshihara and Laura           
          L. Yoshihara.
