          herein by this reference.  Petitioner resided in Phoenix,                   
          Arizona, when his petition was filed.                                       
               Petitioner has not filed a 1994, 1995, or 1996 Federal                 
          income tax return.  On February 14, 2001, respondent prepared               
          substitutes for returns on the basis of information received from           
          third parties.  The information reported that the third parties             
          had paid to petitioner the following wages during the subject               
          years:                                                                      
               Payor                       Year       Amount                          
               Rescue Industries, Inc.             1994      $15,287                  
          1995       18,855.85                                                        
          1996       23,514                                                           
               La Quinta Inns, Inc.                1995          115                  
               Courier Management Services, Inc.   1995        5,501                  
               1996          187                                                      
          Respondent determined petitioner’s tax liability as to those                
          payments by considering his filing status to be “Single”.                   
               Petitioner failed to cooperate with respondent in the audit            
          of his tax liability for the subject years, and petitioner has              
          failed to cooperate with respondent during this proceeding.  At             
          trial, petitioner did not answer any substantive questions as to            
          his tax liability.  Relying upon the Fifth Amendment, petitioner            
          claimed that he was refusing to answer those questions because              
          his answers might incriminate him.
