          released around July 14, 1998.  Upon his release, petitioner                
          moved to 1536 Avenida Rosa, Chula Vista, California, 91911                  
          (Avenida Rosa address).                                                     
               In July 1998, respondent sent petitioner a 30-day letter               
          advising him of proposed adjustments to his 1996 Federal income             
          taxes.  This letter was mailed to the Union Street address listed           
          on petitioner's 1997 return.                                                
               In response to this letter, petitioner returned to                     
          respondent a preprinted form, which came with the 30-day letter,            
          and a two-page handwritten letter.  On the preprinted form,                 
          petitioner's Union Street address was typed as petitioner's                 
          address.  Petitioner did not make any corrections to the address            
          on this form, but he did list his phone number and his hours of             
          availability.  Petitioner's handwritten letter did not include an           
          address or any reference to an address.  On the front of the                
          envelope which petitioner mailed back to respondent, the Avenida            
          Rosa address was written in as the return address.  On the back             
          of this envelope is a preprinted form which states:  "COMPLETE              
          AND RETURN THIS PORTION IF YOUR ADDRESS HAS CHANGED".  There are            
          spaces for the taxpayer's name, the taxpayer's identification               
          number, and the new address.  Petitioner left this form blank.              
          The correspondence was received by respondent on July 31, 1998.             
               On September 9, 1998, respondent sent the notice of                    
          deficiency by certified mail to petitioner at the Union Street
