                  (c), I.R.C., and chose not to present any                           
                  additional evidence regarding those issues.                         
                  R contends that W should not be permitted to                        
                  withdraw, without prejudice, her elections under                    
                  sec. 6015(b) and (c), I.R.C., and that W is not                     
                  entitled to relief under either of those                            
                  provisions.                                                         
                       1.  Held: W's request to withdraw, without                     
                  prejudice, the issue of her qualification for                       
                  relief under subsections (b) and (c) of sec.                        
                  6015, I.R.C., is denied.  W placed those matters                    
                  in issue in this case.  Sec. 6015(g)(2), I.R.C.,                    
                  prescribes the res judicata effect that a final                     
                  decision in this case will have with respect to a                   
                  later election by W under sec. 6015, I.R.C., and                    
                  precludes granting W's request to withdraw her                      
                  elections without prejudice.                                        
                       2.  Held, further, W does not qualify for                      
                  relief under subsection (b) of sec. 6015, I.R.C.,                   
                  nor has she shown that she meets the requirements                   
                  of sec. 6015(c)(3)(A)(i), I.R.C., in order to be                    
                  entitled to elect relief under sec. 6015(c),                        
                  I.R.C.                                                              
                  John R. Crayton, for petitioners.                                   
                  Keith L. Gorman and John E. Becker, Jr., for                        
             respondent.                                                              

                                 SUPPLEMENTAL OPINION                                 
                  WHALEN, Judge:  Our Memorandum Findings of Fact and                 
             Opinion of this case was issued as T.C. Memo. 2000-128                   
             on April 10, 2000 (Vetrano I).  In that opinion, we found                
             that Mr. Vetrano had earned unreported net income in 1991,               
             1992, and 1993, from his business of dealing in used                     
             automobile parts, consisting primarily of payments from a                
             company referred to as BMAP, that he is subject to self-                 
             employment tax on the unreported net income of his used
