                                        - 9 -                                         
               Although petitioner disputed the section 6662(a) accuracy-             
          related penalty in his petition, petitioner has made no arguments           
          under section 6662(d)(2)(B) or 6664(c)(1) against imposition of             
          the penalty.  Indeed, when provided the opportunity at trial to             
          address the penalty, petitioner responded:  “I haven’t been that            
          concerned about it, so I guess the short answer is no, I have               
          nothing.”  We conclude, therefore, that petitioner is liable for            
          a section 6662(a) accuracy-related penalty for substantial                  
          understatement of tax.                                                      
               We have considered the remaining arguments of both parties             
          for results contrary to those discussed herein and, to the extent           
          not discussed above, find those arguments to be irrelevant, moot,           
          or without merit.                                                           
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              

                                                  Decision will be entered            
                                             under Rule 155.
