          Petitioner and her husband were members of the Orlando Opera                
          Guild.                                                                      
               Petitioner's husband works at his surgical practice on an              
          average of more than 70 hours per week.  During 1992, petitioner            
          worked with her husband as a medical transcriber, earning $11,700           
          in wages.  Petitioner graduated from St. Louis University in 1960           
          with a degree in medical records administration.  Because she had           
          more free time, petitioner maintained the family's checking                 
          account and handled the bills for all of the household expenses.            
          She usually retrieved the mail because she arrived home earlier             
          than her husband.                                                           
               Petitioner oversees the operation of JCB Construction, Inc.            
          (JCB), an S corporation of which she has been the sole owner                
          since its creation in 1987.  As secretary-treasurer of JCB,                 
          petitioner maintains its books and records, keeps track of income           
          and expenditures, handles payroll and personnel responsibilities,           
          writes checks for materials and supplies, and collects                      
          information for the preparation of JCB's tax returns.  JCB filed            
          Forms 1120S with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from 1988               
          through 1996, and FICA and FUTA returns since at least 1989.  The           
          gains or losses of JCB were reported on petitioners' Federal                
          income tax returns for the year at issue and in prior years.                
               B.G. Enterprises, Inc. (BGE) was an S corporation owned by             
          petitioner's husband and Thomas George.  BGE was engaged in the
