               Respondent never examined any of petitioner’s income tax               
          returns for 1988 through 1992.5  However, in 1996, respondent               
          commenced examinations of petitioner’s income tax returns for               
          1993 through 1995.                                                          
          B.  The Taxable Year 1993                                                   
               1.  Petitioner’s 1993 Tax Return and Notice of Deficiency              
               Petitioner timely filed a Federal income tax return for                
          1993.  See sec. 6072(a).                                                    
               In or about July 1996, petitioner was notified in writing of           
          the examination of her 1993 income tax return through the receipt           
          of an examination report dated July 19, 1996.  The examination              
          report proposed, inter alia, to disallow the deduction petitioner           
          claimed for gifts to family members of $16,539.                             
               On or about August 18, 1996, petitioner mailed a letter to             


               5  Petitioner admits that she was “well rewarded” through              
          the receipt of refunds for the taxable years 1988 through 1992              
          for which there was no basis in law and the recovery of which by            
          respondent is barred by the statute of limitations on assessment.           
          See sec. 6501.
