                        EWENS AND MILLER, INC., Petitioner v.                         
                    COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent

                    P manufactured bakery products.  P had workers who                
               produced its product (CPWs and BWs), delivered its                     
               product (RDs), and marketed its product (OSWs).                        
                    In 1992, P “converted” all its employees to                       
               independent contractors.  R issued P a Notice of                       
               Determination Concerning Worker Classification Under                   
               Section 7436 determining that the CPWs, BWs, RDs, and                  
               OSWs were employees for purposes of Federal employment                 
               tax, that P was not entitled to relief pursuant to sec.                
               530 of the Revenue Act of 1978, Pub. L. 95-600, 92                     
               Stat. 2763, 2885, and that P was liable for penalties                  
               pursuant to sec. 6656, I.R.C.                                          
                    On Sept. 28, 1999, R filed a motion to dismiss for                
               lack of jurisdiction as to the amounts of employment                   
               taxes and related penalties.  On Oct. 26, 1999,                        
               following this Court’s decision in Henry Randolph                      
               Consulting v. Commissioner, 112 T.C. 1 (1999), we                      
               granted R’s motion.
