          Pensions, Annuities, Retirement or Profit-Sharing Plans, IRAs,              
          Insurance Contracts, etc. (Form 1099-R), with respect to each of            
          those distributions.                                                        
               On March 3, 1998, petitioner deposited the $131,5552 retire-           
          ment plan distribution that he received from Vanguard into a                
          certificate of deposit in his name at American Savings Bank in              
          Honolulu, Hawaii (Bank).  (We shall refer to that certificate of            
          deposit as petitioner’s American Savings Bank CD.)  On March 31             
          and April 2, 1998, the Bank credited petitioner’s American                  
          Savings Bank CD with interest of $501.71 and $34.60, respec-                
          tively.  On April 6, 1998, petitioner withdrew the entire balance           
          of $132,092.20 from petitioner’s American Savings Bank CD.                  
               For an undisclosed period of time, petitioner, who received            
          a medical degree, operated a radiology practice.  On May 25,                
          1997, that practice was closed.                                             
               Petitioner timely filed Form 1040EZ, Income Tax Return for             
          Single and Joint Filers With No Dependents (return), for his                
          taxable year 1998.  That return reported no income and no tax               
          liability and claimed no prepayment credits.                                
               Respondent issued a notice of deficiency (notice) to peti-             


               2The actual amount that petitioner deposited into peti-                
          tioner’s American Savings Bank CD was $131,555.89.  One of the              
          Forms 1099-R that Vanguard issued to petitioner for 1998 showed a           
          retirement plan distribution of $131,555.  The record does not              
          explain the 89-cent discrepancy between the $131,555.89 deposited           
          into the American Savings Bank CD and the $131,555 retirement               
          plan distribution shown in Form 1099-R issued to petitioner.
