                                        - 6 -                                         
          employees and no officers or directors.  When clients obtained              
          petitioner’s services, they did not execute an engagement                   
          contract with JJH, and the clients did not recognize JJH as the             
          service provider.  JJH did not have a rental agreement for its              
          office space from Simmons; Simmons had a verbal agreement with              
          petitioner to rent the entire house to petitioner.  JJH did not             
          engage in a business activity.                                              
               Charlene made fabric and wood country crafts that she sold             
          to craft malls.  Petitioner and Charlene incorporated Char’s                
          Country Accents, Inc. (CCA), in 1986 to operate this business.              
          Charlene and Craig were the owners and officers.  CCA’s address             
          and location were at the Muehl residence.                                   
               In 1987, petitioner incorporated an entity he called Coastal           
          Leasing (Coastal) to conceal his assets from the Service.                   
          Coastal’s address was the Muehl residence.  Coastal did not                 
          conduct any business activity, and petitioner used Coastal to               
          circulate funds among and between his other entities and his                
          family members.  By 1994, petitioner allowed Craig to operate his           
          construction activities under the Coastal name to give the                  
          appearance that Craig was a mature individual with his own                  
          construction company.
