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.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 Next
