                                        - 8 -                                         
          taxpayer acted in good faith.  See sec. 6664(c); sec. 1.6664-               
          4(a), Income Tax Regs.  Respondent's determination imposing the             
          accuracy-related penalty is presumed correct, and petitioners               
          must establish error in respondent's determination that they are            
          liable for the penalty.  Rule 142(a); Estate of Monroe v.                   
          Commissioner, 104 T.C. 352, 366 (1995).                                     
               The record contains no evidence as to petitioners'                     
          reasonable cause or good faith for claiming the deductions in               
          issue nor any other evidence that would show error in                       
          respondent's determination of the penalty.  Accordingly, we                 
          sustain respondent's determination that petitioners are liable              
          for the accuracy-related penalty under 6662(a) for 1996.                    
               To reflect the foregoing and respondent's concessions,                 

                                             Decision will be entered                 
                                        under Rule 155.
