          although there is nothing in the record that remotely resembles             
          any formal agreement or arrangement between G&A (or petitioner)             
          and PSI.  Formalities aside, it appears that PSI and petitioner,            
          through G&A, were involved in a fee or profit splitting                     
          arrangement in connection with the above-described business                 
          activities that petitioner was involved with during the years in            
          issue.                                                                      
               Petitioners’ 1992 return was filed on May 30, 1995; their              
          1993 return was filed on July 18, 1995; and their 1994 return was           
          filed on September 1, 1995.  No extension to file had been                  
          requested or granted with respect to any of the years in issue.             
          Each return was prepared by a professional income tax return                
          preparer who had prepared petitioners’ Federal income tax returns           
          for a number of years prior to the years in issue.  The return              
          preparer also prepared the Federal income tax returns of PSI for            
          the years 1992 through 1994.  For each year, petitioner provided            
          the return preparer with various personal and corporate books and           
          records.  Petitioner also explained various transactions and                
          business practices involving G&A and PSI to the return preparer.            
               For each year in issue, petitioners included a Schedule C,             
          Profit or Loss From Business, on which items of income and                  
          deductions attributable to G&A are reported as follows:
