                                        - 2 -                                         
          The decision to be entered is not reviewable by any other court,            
          and this opinion should not be cited as authority.                          
               Respondent determined penalties of $12,264, $15,056, and               
          $30,129 under section 6663(a) for the years 1991, 1992, and 1994,           
          respectively.  In the answer, respondent alleges, in the                    
          alternative, that if petitioner Gail Campana is not liable for              
          the penalties under section 6663(a) for the years at issue, she             
          is liable for the accuracy-related penalties under section                  
          6662(a), as increases of deficiency under section 6214(a).  The             
          issues for decision, therefore, are whether part of the                     
          underpayments of tax for the years 1991, 1992, and 1994 is due to           
          fraud, or in the alternative, whether the underpayments are due             
          to negligence or intentional disregard of rules or regulations.             
               Some of the facts have been stipulated and are so found.               
          The accompanying exhibits are incorporated herein by reference.             
                                     Background
