          After concessions by the parties, only one substantive item                 
          remains in issue.  The parties dispute whether petitioner can               
          deduct $100,000 in compensation paid to petitioner’s sole                   
          shareholder and his sons after the close of petitioner’s fiscal             
          year ended July 31, 1994.  We hold that petitioner is not                   
          entitled to the deduction for that year.                                    
               Petitioner also challenges the late-filing additions to tax            
          and the accuracy-related penalties determined by respondent.  We            
          sustain respondent’s determinations.                                        
                                  FINDINGS OF FACT                                    
               Most of the facts have been stipulated and are so found.               
          The stipulation of facts and related exhibits are incorporated by           
          this reference.                                                             
               Petitioner’s principal place of business was Kansas City,              
          Missouri, when it filed the petition in this case.  Petitioner is           
          in the business of transporting trucks from manufacturers or                
          dealers to other dealers or end-users.  Doyce Gentry was the sole           
          shareholder, officer, and director of petitioner, and had sole              
          check-writing authority over petitioner’s bank accounts.  At all            
          relevant times, petitioner was an accrual method taxpayer using a
