          his failure to include the $18,432 in his gross income.  Rather,            
          the evidence presented in this case overwhelmingly shows that               
          petitioner had no reason to believe that his receipt of the                 
          Nortel stock was anything other than a distribution taxable as an           
          ordinary dividend.  On this record, we conclude that petitioner             
          is liable for the accuracy-related penalty under section 6662(a),           
          as determined by respondent.                                                
               Contentions we have not addressed are irrelevant, moot, or             
          without merit.

          Division.                                                                   


                                                  Decision will be entered            
                                             under Rule 155.
