               Partnership agreement              7,500                               
               Property management rent           14,950                              
               Rental income                      1 19,500                            
               Miscellaneous                      1,413                               
               Total                              99,381                              
               1  Petitioner alleges that this amount includes a security             
          deposit; however, she failed to indicate the amount of the                  
          security deposit.  Petitioner reported the amount of rental                 
          income on her individual return as $19,600.                                 
               a.   Forms 1099-MISC                                                   
               Respondent determined that the full amounts reported on the            
          Forms 1099-MISC were includable in petitioner’s gross income in             
          1996.  Petitioner challenged the accuracy of the information                
          provided in the Form 1099-MISC concerning commission income of              
          $12,589.55.  Petitioner admits that she received and deposited              
          $10,122.05 into the account in 1996 but alleges that the                    
          remaining $2,467.50 was deposited on January 2, 1997, and,                  
          therefore, was not includable in income for 1996.                           
               Under section 6201(d), if a taxpayer in a court proceeding             
          asserts a reasonable dispute with respect to income reported on             
          an information return (e.g., Form 1099-MISC) and fully cooperates           
          with the Secretary (including providing access to and inspection            
          of all witnesses, information, and documents within the control             
          of the taxpayer as reasonably requested by the Secretary), then             
          the Secretary shall have the burden of producing reasonable and             
          probative information in addition to such information return.               
          See Tanner v. Commissioner, 117 T.C. 237 (2001); McQuatters v.              
          Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1998-88; Dennis v. Commissioner, T.C.
