                  Petitioner never filed a Federal income tax return for              
             1993.  Respondent prepared a return for that year, which                 
             determined that petitioner owed tax on the $100,000 lump-                
             sum payment.                                                             
                  In the subject notice of deficiency, respondent made                
             adjustments to petitioner's income for 1990, 1991, and                   
             1993.  The adjustments for 1990 were resolved by the                     
             parties and are no longer at issue in this proceeding.                   
             Respondent made the following adjustments to petitioner's                
             taxable income for 1991 and 1993:                                        
                                                1991   1993                           
                  Exemptions                    -0-    ($2,350)                       
                  Compensation (FBI)            -0-    100,000                        
                  Itemized deduction/                                                 
                  standard deduction         $16,290  (3,700)                         
                  Total adjustments      16,290  93,950                               

             The notice describes the adjustment disallowing the                      
             gambling losses claimed in 1991 as follows:                              

                  For the taxable year ending December 31, 1991,                      
                  you have failed to substantiate the claimed                         
                  gambling losses of $19,690.  Since this was the                     
                  only claimed itemized deduction, you are now                        
                  entitled to the standard deduction of $3,400.                       
                  Accordingly, your taxable income is increased                       
                  $16,290.                                                            

             The notice describes the adjustment increasing petitioner's              
             compensation from the FBI in 1993, as follows:
