          petitioner did not significantly benefit from the embezzlement              
          income.                                                                     
               As stated above, Rev. Proc. 2000-15, supra, states that the            
          significant benefit factor can only favor respondent.  In                   
          contrast, in cases decided under section 6013(e) in which the               
          spouse seeking relief did not significantly benefit from the                
          omitted income or erroneous deductions attributable to the other            
          spouse, the fact that the taxpayer did not significantly benefit            
          weighed in favor of granting relief.  See, e.g., Belk v.                    
          Commissioner, 93 T.C. 434, 440-441 (1989); Foley v. Commissioner,           
          T.C. Memo. 1995-16; Robinson v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1994-              
          557; Klimenko v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1993-340; Hillman v.
