The understatement upon which the addition to tax was imposed was
$10,467. The understatement is substantial because it exceeds

shown on the return.14 On this record, the Court holds that
petitioners are liable for the addition to tax under section
6661(a) for a substantial understatement of tax for 1982.
Respondent is sustained on this issue.

is without merit.
Decision will be entered
for respondent.

$78,861, 10 percent of which equals $7,886.10.
