                                        - 2 -                                         
          deficiency in docket no. 18097-97 reflects a deficiency of                  
          $24,654 in the 1992 Federal income tax liability of petitioner              
          and Nora J. Banks.  By way of an amendment to the answer in                 
          docket no. 18096-97, respondent disallowed deductions of $108,306           
          including a net operating loss (NOL) carryover of $101,365 that             
          petitioner applied to 1988 and alleged a resulting additional               
          deficiency of $10,596 for that year.  Respondent also alleged in            
          the amended answer that petitioner was liable for a $5,576                  
          addition to his 1988 tax under section 6651(a)(1).1                         
               Following the parties’ concessions, including one by                   
          respondent that Nora J. Banks has no deficiency for 1992 because            
          she qualifies for relief from joint liability on a joint return             
          under section 6015, we must decide:                                         
               1.  Whether petitioner’s gross income includes any of the              
          settlement proceeds which he received from an action based, in              
          part, on Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (title VII),             
          Pub. L. 88-352, 78 Stat. 253;                                               
               2.  Whether petitioner may deduct an NOL in any of the                 
          subject years;                                                              
               3.  Whether petitioner’s 1992 gross income includes the                
          items of income discussed below;                                            




               1 Unless otherwise indicated, section references are to the            
          Internal Revenue Code in effect for the years in issue.  Rule               
          references are to the Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure.
