                                     Background                                       
               Petitioner failed to file Federal income tax returns for               
          1994, 1995, and 1996.  On April 23, 1998, respondent prepared               
          substitutes for returns for petitioner for the respective years.            
               On September 29, 1999, respondent sent to petitioner a                 
          notice of deficiency for 1994, 1995, and 1996.  The notice                  
          determined that petitioner was liable for deficiencies in his               
          1994, 1995, and 1996 Federal income taxes and additions to tax as           
          follows:                                                                    
                                              Additions to Tax

          1995       2,269               324            64.42

               On November 7, 1999, petitioner sent to respondent a letter            
          acknowledging receipt of the notice of deficiency.  That letter             
          stated:                                                                     


               1 We use the term “approximately” because these amounts were           
          computed before the present proceeding and have since increased             
          on account of interest.
