          Missouri, case No. 582034 (collectively Mr. Gans and his related            
          businesses).                                                                
               Petitioner and Mr. Gans and his related businesses executed            
          a written Release and Settlement Agreement on April 5, 1993.  A             
          settlement check of $15,000 (settlement award), payable to                  
          petitioner and her attorney William Moench (Mr. Moench), was                
          issued pursuant to the Release and Settlement Agreement on June             
          2, 1993.  Petitioner’s attorney’s fees were $6,542.70 ($5,000               
          plus $1,542.70 costs).  Petitioner received two checks from Mr.             
          Moench’s client trust account, dated June 17, 1993, of $3,728.65            
          and $4,728.65.  The first check payable to petitioner was                   
          earmarked for “Steve Anderson interest in Gans settlement” and              
          allegedly paid to Mr. Anderson.                                             
               Previously, on March 2, 1989, petitioner filed a petition              
          for dissolution of her marriage to Mr. Anderson, in the Circuit             
          Court of the Sixth Judicial District of Macon County, Illinois.             
          Petitioner’s Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage (dissolution               
          judgment) was issued on February 7, 1990.                                   
               Petitioner filed her 1993 Federal income tax return on                 
          October 17, 1994.  The settlement proceeds were not reported                
          thereon, nor were corresponding deductions claimed for attorney’s           
          fees and costs or payments to Mr. Anderson.  An amended income              
          tax return, Form 1040X, was allegedly prepared and signed by the            
          return preparer and petitioner on or about December 27, 1997.
