          733 F.2d 435, 436 (6th Cir. 1984) and cases there cited, affg.              
          T.C. Memo. 1982-735; Pesch v. Commissioner, 78 T.C. 100, 117-118,           
          120 n.29 (1982); see also Ideal Rlty. Co. v. United States, 561             
          F.2d 1123, 1125 (4th Cir. 1977).                                            
               We hold for respondent that interest on the 1982                       
          underpayment begins to accrue on April 15, 1983.  See our                   
          comments, supra, as to the period for which respondent did not              
          pay interest on the overpayment.                                            
          B.  Asserted Accounting Errors                                              
               1.  $2.44                                                              
               Petitioners contend on opening brief that “$2.44 was paid              
          5/19/85 not 5/19/86".  Respondent acknowledges on answering brief           
          that, on an interest computation as to 1979 prepared for trial,             
          the “$2.44 was listed in error on exhibit 82-R as May 19, 1996              
          instead of May 19, 1986.”  Respondent insists that “such item was           
          paid on May 19, 1986.  (Ex. 3-J).”                                          
               This dispute affects the “bottom line” only to the extent of           
          1 year’s worth of interest on $2.44, plus the effect of                     
          compounding the interest on that 1 year’s worth of interest.                
          See, e.g., Dang v. Commissioner, 259 F.3d at 206.                           
               The only evidence on this matter that we have found in the             
          record is respondent’s transcript of account, which shows the               
          $2.44 as “credit applied 05-19-86 from Form 1040 tax period Dec             
          1985".  In the absence of (1) any restrictions on the use of this
