               $11,219 interest income which he received from Fidelity                
               Investments.                                                           
                    17.  For 1981, the petitioner did not report anywhere

               Investments.                                                           
                           *    *    *    *    *    *    *                            
                    30.  For 1981, the $10,513 reported by petitioner on              
               his 1981 Schedule C as gross receipts was actually interest            
               income.                                                                
                           *    *    *    *    *    *    *                            
                    35.  For 1982, the petitioner received $12,298 in

                                       OPINION                                        
               Petitioner contends that certain income from Fidelity                  
          Investments ($10,513 for 1981, $12,298 for 1982) should be                  
          treated as Schedule C business income rather than Schedule B                
          nonbusiness interest income.
