                                       - 21 -                                         
          the Internal Revenue Service.  Adequate disclosure includes a               
          properly completed and filed Form 8275–R.  Sec. 1.6662-3(c)(2),             
          Income Tax Regs.  Petitioners filed a Form 8275-R to disclose               
          their position regarding the deductibility of interest.                     
               With respect to the section 469 issue, petitioners did not             
          attempt disclosure and, in any event, the disclosure exception              
          under section 1.6662-3(c)(1), Income Tax Regs., does not apply.             
          Sec. 1.6662-3(c)(1), Income Tax Regs.  We are satisfied from the            
          testimony, however, that petitioners relied on the advice of                
          Miller with respect to the passive activity losses that they                
          claimed.  We conclude that petitioners are not liable for the               
          accuracy-related penalties imposed under section 6662.                      
               We have considered all of the remaining arguments that have            
          been made by petitioners for a result contrary to that expressed            
          herein, and, to the extent not discussed above, they are without            
          merit.                                                                      
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              
                                                  Decision will be entered            
                                             for respondent as to the                 
                                             deficiencies and for                     
                                             petitioners as to the                    
                                             accuracy-related penalties.
