               Petitioners have submitted billing statements from                     
          petitioners’ counsel regarding the above litigation costs.  With            
          one exception, the client identified on such statements and to              
          whom the billings were mailed was “Haas & Associates” or “Haas &            
          Associates c/o Michael A. Haas”.2  The evidence does not indicate           
          who, as between Haas and his wife and Haas & Associates, paid               
          these bills.                                                                
               Before respondent’s mailing to petitioners of the notices of           
          deficiency, petitioners also incurred attorney’s fees and other             
          costs.  Petitioners, however, in the instant motion for                     
          litigation costs and fees are not seeking recovery of any costs             
          incurred before the mailing by respondent of the notices of                 
          deficiency.                                                                 






          2    One billing statement dated Oct. 2, 1998, for $59 is                   
          directed to “Michael A. Haas & Angela M. Haas”.
