          Revenue Code in effect for the year in issue, and all Rule                  
          references are to the Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure.            
               Respondent determined a deficiency in petitioners’ Federal             
          income tax of $6,276 for 1997, an addition to tax under section             
          6651(a)(1) of $113, and an accuracy-related penalty under section           
          6662(a) of $1,255.  After concessions by petitioners,1 the issues           
          for decision are:  (1) Whether petitioners received $27,330 of              
          unreported income; (2) whether petitioners are liable for an                
          addition to tax under section 6651(a)(1); and (3) whether                   
          petitioners are liable for an accuracy-related penalty under                
          section 6662(a).                                                            
               Respondent also determined that petitioners are not entitled           
          to certain miscellaneous itemized deductions claimed on Schedule            
          A, Itemized Deductions.  These adjustments are computational, and           
          petitioners have not disputed them; therefore, we need not                  
          separately address them.  Respondent also determined that                   
          petitioners are entitled to an additional deduction of $289 for             
          one-half of the self-employment tax determined in the                       
          adjustments.                                                                






               1  Petitioners concede that they failed to report $2,610 of            
          income received by petitioner Vanessa Smith (Mrs. Smith) from               
          “Off The Field Productions” in 1997, and that they filed their              
          1997 return on May 14, 1998, and, therefore, did not timely file.
