               fraud penalties under sec. 6663(a), I.R.C.  R also                     
               determined as to the payments that Ps were transferees                 
               of DDL’s assets, and, in that capacity, owed the unpaid                
               1990 and 1991 Federal corporate income taxes and fraud                 
               penalties of DDL.  Ps argue that R’s determinations are                
               erroneous because, Ps state, P-H’s medical practice was                
               not incorporated during 1990 and 1991.  Ps note that a                 
               corporation has never been formally registered with                    
               California to do business as DDL.                                      
                    1.  Held:  In 1990 and 1991, P-H operated his                     
               medical practice in California as a corporation known                  
               as DDL.                                                                
                    2.  Held, further, Ps’ 1990 and 1991 gross income                 
               includes the amounts diverted from DDL, and Ps are                     
               liable for the individual income taxes and related                     
               fraud penalties determined by R.                                       
                    3.  Held, further, Ps, as transferees of DDL’s                    
               assets, are liable for DDL’s 1990 and 1991 Federal                     
               corporate income tax liabilities (inclusive of the                     
               fraud penalties).                                                      
                    4.  Held, further, the period of limitations under                
               sec. 6501, I.R.C., has not run as to Ps’ 1990 or 1991                  
               taxable year.
