          Schedule C attached to his return, petitioner stated that he was            
          an “accountant”, and that his business name was “House                      
          Accountant”.  Petitioner failed to provide a complete business              
          address but stated his office was in Lockport, Illinois.                    
               JJH—Petitioner prepared and filed returns for JJH for the              
          fiscal years ending June 30, 1994 and 1995, reporting that the              
          business activity of JJH was “sales” and the product or service             
          was “process”.  For these years, petitioner reported the gross              
          receipts from his accounting business on JJH’s returns, reporting           
          gross receipts of $156,197 and $152,340, respectively.  These               
          gross receipts equaled the total deposits into the JJH account              
          for both years.4  In reporting the total bank deposits as gross             
          receipts, petitioner was aware he was including transfers from              
          CCA’s and Coastal’s accounts.  In each year, petitioner claimed             
          on JJH’s return deductions and cost of goods sold in excess of              
          the gross receipts, and JJH paid no tax in either year.  The                
          claimed deductions and cost of goods sold included the checks               
          drawn for business and personal items of $150,208 as set forth              
          above for calendar year 1994.                                               
               CCA’s Returns—Petitioner prepared and filed a return on                
          behalf of CCA for 1994, reporting gross receipts of $66,994,                
          expenses and cost of goods sold of $68,358, and no taxable                  


               4For the calendar year 1994, the reported gross receipts               
          equal the $176,547 in deposits identified above.
