                       MEMORANDUM FINDINGS OF FACT AND OPINION                        

               HALPERN, Judge:  By notice of deficiency dated October 20,             
          2000 (the notice of deficiency), respondent determined                      
          deficiencies in, and additions to, Federal income tax with                  
          respect to petitioner John P. Trowbridge (Dr. Trowbridge) as                
          follows:1

          6651(a)(2) in amounts to be determined.  We interpret                       
          respondent’s posttrial brief as conceding those additions to tax            
          in the event we find that the 1996 and 1997 Forms 1040 received             
                                                             (continued...)
