          address, 80 North Star Trail, Atlanta,  Georgia  30331-7862                 
          (hereinafter referred to as the 80 North Star Trail address).  That         
          notice detailed respondent’s determinations regarding income tax            
          deficiencies, additions to tax, and penalties for 1990 and 1991, as         
          follows:                                                                    
                                   Addition to Tax         Penalty                    
               Year   Deficiency     Sec. 6651(a)(1)       Sec. 6662(a)               
               1990    $19,680            $5,455             $3,936                   
               1991     23,616              ---               4,723                   
               The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) returned the notice of                  
          deficiency to the IRS on April 27, 1995.  The envelope in which the         
          notice of deficiency was mailed indicates that the USPS made but            
          one delivery attempt before returning the envelope and its contents         
          to the IRS as “unclaimed”.                                                  
               Petitioners did not claim the certified letter containing the          
          notice of deficiency from the USPS because they did not receive             
          from the USPS notice of the existence of such letter.  Had they             
          received a notice of certified mail, they would have gone to the            
          post office to pick up the letter.                                          
               Petitioners did not contest respondent’s determinations as set         
          forth in the notice of deficiency by filing a petition with this            
          Court.  Had petitioners received the notice of deficiency, they             
          would have petitioned this Court for a redetermination of the tax           
          liabilities asserted in the notice of deficiency.
