          Background                                                                  
               Some of the facts have been stipulated, and they are so                
          found.  The stipulation of facts and the attached exhibits are              
          incorporated herein by this reference.  At the time the petition            
          was filed, petitioner resided in Guttenberg, New Jersey.                    
               From January 1, 1997, to April 1, 1999, petitioner was a               
          stockbroker at the American Stock Exchange in New York, New York.           
          During the years in issue, petitioner had various health problems           
          that required him to undergo surgery on an outpatient basis with            
          follow-up medical appointments about once a month.  Also during             
          the years in issue, petitioner’s spouse, Barbara Appel, suffered            
          from severe health problems, and petitioner had to care for her             
          and manage the affairs of the household.  Petitioner nevertheless           
          continued working at the American Stock Exchange with a few days            
          of absences due to his surgery and related follow-up medical                
          appointments.                                                               
               Petitioner requested and received extensions to file his               
          Federal income tax returns for the 1997, 1998, and 1999 taxable             
          years.  Taking into account such extensions, petitioner’s 1997              
          return was due October 15, 1998; his 1998 return was due October            
          15, 1999; and his 1999 return was due October 15, 2000.  However,           
          petitioner did not file any Federal income tax returns by the               
          corresponding due dates.
