               Ross M. Greenberg, for respondent.                                     


                                 MEMORANDUM OPINION                                   
               PAJAK, Special Trial Judge: Respondent determined a                    
          deficiency in petitioners' 1996 Federal income tax in the amount            
          of $3,462 and a section 6651(a)(1) addition to tax in the amount            
          of $866.  Unless otherwise indicated, section references are to             
          the Internal Revenue Code in effect for the year in issue, and              
          all Rule references are to the Tax Court Rules of Practice and              
          Procedure.                                                                  
               As admitted by petitioners in the Stipulation of Facts, with           
          respect to their untimely 1996 Federal income tax return, Mrs.              
          Labato underreported income from her employment by Marriott                 
          International, Inc., and totally omitted income from Columbia               
          Park Medical Center; petitioners failed to report some of their             
          interest income from a bank; and each petitioner underreported              
          Social Security benefits each received in 1996.  Respondent                 
          concedes that petitioners are not liable for the additional tax             
          of $2,118 on an early distribution from a qualified pension.                
          This Court must decide whether petitioners are liable for the               
          addition to tax under section 6651(a)(1) for failure to timely              
          file their tax return.
