                                       - 10 -                                         
          were filed until that date.  On the basis of the entire record in           
          this case, we conclude that petitioner has failed to show that a            
          return was filed, or that a claim for refund was made, prior to             
          October 4, 1993.                                                            
               On the returns submitted on October 4, 1993, petitioner                
          reported wages, interest, and dividend income for 1988 and 1989             
          of $82,452.96 and $22,716.54, respectively.  Petitioner claimed             
          Schedule C business deductions for 1988, 1989, and 1991 of                  
          $61,381, $46,062, and $30,374, respectively.  After claiming                
          various deductions not at issue in this case, the returns show              
          taxes of $2,501 for 1988 and $0 for 1989.  For 1988 and 1989,               
          $19,209 and $5,295.872 were withheld from petitioner’s wages,               
          respectively.  The returns sought refunds of $16,708 and                    
          $7,796.873 for 1988 and 1989, respectively.                                 
               On May 11, 1995, respondent issued a notice of deficiency              
          with respect to petitioner’s 1988, 1989, and 1991 taxable years.            
          In the notice, respondent disallowed Schedule C business expenses           
          in the amount of $34,381, $30,770, and $11,021 in 1988, 1989, and           

               2 Although the parties’ stipulation states the amount                  
          withheld for 1989 was $5,285.87, petitioner’s return for the                
          year, respondent’s certificate of assessments and payments for              
          petitioner with respect to that year, and an earlier stipulation            
          record the figure as $5,295.87.                                             
               3 The $7,796.87 refund sought for 1989 exceeds the $5,295.87           
          in withheld taxes for that year by $2,501.  On his 1989 return,             
          petitioner appears to have treated the $2,501 in taxes shown as             
          due on his 1988 return as an amount available as a credit against           
          his 1989 tax liability.
