          Revenue Code, as amended, in effect for 1993.  The Court agrees             
          with and adopts the opinion of the Special Trial Judge, which is            
          set forth below.                                                            
                         OPINION OF THE SPECIAL TRIAL JUDGE                           
               CARLUZZO, Special Trial Judge:  Respondent determined a                
          deficiency of $8,922 in petitioner’s 1993 Federal income tax and            
          a section 6662 penalty of $1,784.                                           
               The issues for decision are:  (1) Whether petitioner is                
          entitled to any of the deductions claimed on a Schedule C, Profit           
          or Loss From Business, included with his 1993 Federal income tax            
          return; (2) whether petitioner is entitled to a credit for what             
          is identified as a “carry forward loss” on his 1993 return; (3)             
          whether petitioner is entitled to exclude from income or defer              
          the gain realized from the sale of his residence; and (4) whether           
          any underpayment of tax required to be shown on petitioner’s 1993           
          return is due to negligence.                                                
                                     Background                                       
               Some of the facts have been stipulated and are so found.               
          At the time that the petition was filed, petitioner resided in              
          Columbus, Ohio.                                                             
               In 1992, petitioner was convicted of filing a false 1984               
          Federal income tax return.  As a result, among other sanctions,             
          he was ordered to “pay a fine to the United States in the amount            
          of ten thousand ($10,000) dollars”.  As best as can be determined
