          distributions received by petitioner from CNC represent a return            
          of capital that is not taxable because CNC had no earnings and              
          profits.  See secs. 301, 316.                                               
               Petitioner pleaded guilty to violating section 7201 for his            
          failure to declare $127,512 of income earned in 1994 from CNC.              
          At petitioner’s plea hearing, petitioner admitted:  (1) At the              
          time he filed his 1992 Federal income tax return, he knew that he           
          had received approximately $41,600 in total monthly profit income           
          on his CNC investments in 1992; (2) the tax loss on the                     
          unreported income was approximately $7,597; (3) at the time he              
          filed his 1993 Federal income tax return, he knew that he had               
          received approximately $109,663 in total monthly profit income on           
          his CNC investments in 1993; and (4) the tax loss on the                    
          unreported income was approximately $26,959.  Thus, petitioner              
          admitted that he received unreported income and that the                    
          nondisclosure resulted in an underpayment.                                  
               Petitioner also submitted amended Federal income tax returns           
          for the 1992 and 1993 tax years.  On those returns, which                   
          petitioner signed under penalties of perjury, petitioner included           
          in income the amount of the distributions that he had received              
          from CNC during 1992 and 1993.  Petitioner’s amended returns are            
          admissions of Federal income tax underpayments.  See Badaracco v.           
          Commissioner, 464 U.S. 386, 399 (1984).
