          return also included income from an attached Schedule C, Profit             
          or Loss From Business, for petitioner’s construction activities.            
          No such Schedule C was included or construction income shown for            
          1991.                                                                       
               In January 1997, petitioner was indicted on multiple counts            
          in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of             
          Virginia.  After trial, petitioner was found guilty on one count            
          of conspiracy to distribute marijuana and cocaine and on four               
          counts of filing false tax returns for 1990, 1991, 1992, and                
          1993, in violation of section 7206(1).  The indictment named                
          various persons as conspirators, including Stephen C. Hatcher               
          (Hatcher).  With respect to the counts concerning section                   
          7206(1), the indictment charged that petitioner:                            
               did wilfully make and subscribe a U.S. Individual                      
               Income Tax Return, Form 1040, for the calendar year                    
               1990 [or 1991, etc.] which was verified by a written                   
               declaration that it was made under the penalties of                    
               perjury and was filed with the Internal Revenue                        
               Service, which said U.S. Individual Income Tax Return,                 
               Form 1040, he did not believe to be true and correct as                
               to every material matter in that the said U.S.                         
               Individual Income Tax Return, Form 1040, failed to                     
               disclose that he engaged in the operation of a business                
               activity from which he derived gross receipts or sales                 
               and incurred deductions, whereas, as he then and there                 
               well knew and believed, he was required by law and                     
               regulation to disclose the operation of this business                  
               activity, the gross receipts or sales he derived                       
               therefrom, and the deductions he incurred.                             
               (In violation of Title 26, United States Code, Section                 
               7206(1))
