          distributions of cash which petitioner received in 2000 from one            
          individual retirement account (IRA) and rolled over to another              
          IRA more than 60 days later are excludable from his 2000 gross              
          income under the 60-day rule of section 408(d)(3)(A)(i) (60-day             
          rule) by virtue of the substantial compliance doctrine.  We hold            
          they are not.  We also decide whether petitioner is liable for an           
          accuracy-related penalty under section 6662(a) and (d).  We hold            
          he is.                                                                      
                                  FINDINGS OF FACT                                    
               Some facts were stipulated.  The stipulated facts and the              
          exhibits submitted therewith are incorporated herein by this                
          reference.  We find the stipulated facts accordingly.  Petitioner           
          is an attorney who lived in Pollock Pines, California, when his             
          petition was filed.  He was born on September 5, 1950, and has              
          been a member of the State Bar of California since 1982.  He                
          presently works as a research lawyer for a superior court in                
          California.                                                                 
               Petitioner and his companion purchased a home in May 1999.             
          At the end of 1999, while living in that home, petitioner learned           
          of a house (house) that was being auctioned in a foreclosure                
          sale.  Petitioner bid on the house during December 1999.  His bid           
          was accepted in or about the second week of January 2000.
