          motion.                                                                     
                                     Background                                       
               The record establishes and/or the parties do not dispute the           
          following.                                                                  
               Petitioner resided in Las Vegas, Nevada, at the time he                
          filed the petition in this case.                                            
               On or about April 15, 1999, petitioner filed a Federal                 
          income tax (tax) return for his taxable year 1998 (1998 return).            
          In his 1998 return, petitioner reported total income of                     
          $51,162.71, total tax of $11,034, and claimed total credits                 
          against the total tax reported in that return not only for                  
          Federal income tax withheld but also for Social Security tax and            
          Medicare tax withheld.  As a result, petitioner claimed a refund            
          of $927.16 in his 1998 return.  Petitioner attached to his 1998             
          return two Forms W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, and Form 1099-MISC,           
          Miscellaneous Income.                                                       
               On April 15, 1999, respondent credited the $927.16 refund              
          that petitioner claimed in his 1998 return against unpaid liabil-           
          ities with respect to his taxable years 1992 and 1993.                      
               On April 15, 1999, respondent reduced the total withholding            
          credit that petitioner claimed in his 1998 return by $3,592,                
          which respondent concluded was attributable to the Social Secu-             
          rity tax and Medicare tax withheld that petitioner erroneously              
          included in the total withholding credit claimed in that return.
