                                        - 2 -                                         
          income tax for the taxable year 1999 in the amount of $2,655.               
               After a concession by petitioner,2 the only issue for                  
          decision is whether the 10-percent additional tax pursuant to               
          section 72(t) applies to the $25,307.65 distribution that                   
          petitioner received from his former employer’s profit sharing               
          plan.  We hold that it does.                                                
          Background                                                                  
               Some of the facts were stipulated, and they are so found.              
          Petitioner resided in Dallas, Texas, at the time that the                   
          petition was filed with the Court.                                          
               For some 12 years ending in 1999, petitioner worked for MIC            
          Technology Corp. (MIC) and participated in MIC’s profit sharing             
          plan (MIC Plan).  On or about November 1, 1999, petitioner left             
          MIC for another employment opportunity and, therefore, cashed out           
          the balance of his MIC Plan in the amount of $25,307.65.  MIC               
          sent petitioner a Form 1099-R, Distributions From Pensions,                 
          Annuities, Retirement or Profit-Sharing Plans, IRAs, Insurance              
          Contracts, etc., reporting a taxable gross distribution of                  
          $25,307.65 of which $5,061.53 was withheld for Federal income               
          tax.  On December 16, 1999, petitioner used the net proceeds of             





               2  The notice of deficiency determined a deficiency of                 
          $2,655 of which $124 represented tax on unreported interest                 
          income, which petitioner concedes.  Therefore, the amount of                
          deficiency at issue is $2,531.
