               Based upon our examination of the entire record before us, we          
          find that petitioner has failed to carry her burden of establish-           
          ing that there is an understatement of tax for any of the taxable           
          years 1989, 1991, 1992, and 1993 that is attributable to erroneous          
          items of Mr. Monsour.  On that record, we further find that                 
          petitioner has failed to satisfy section 6015(b)(1)(B) for any of           
          those years.37                                                              
               Conclusion                                                             
               Based upon our examination of the entire record before us, we          
          find that petitioner has failed to carry her burden of establish-           
          ing that she is entitled to relief under section 6015(b) for any            
          of the taxable years 1989, 1991, 1992, and 1993.                            
          Section 6015(f)                                                             
               Petitioner claims, in the alternative, that she is entitled            
          to relief under section 6015(f) for each of the taxable years               
          1989, 1991, 1992, and 1993.  She also claims that she is entitled           
          to relief under that section for the taxable year 1990.  We review          
          respondent’s denial of relief under section 6015(f) for abuse of            
          discretion.  Butler v. Commissioner, 114 T.C. 276, 292 (2000).              
               Section 6015(f) provides:                                              


               37Assuming arguendo that we had found that petitioner satis-           
          fied sec. 6015(b)(1)(B), on the record before us, we find for the           
          reasons set forth below in our consideration of petitioner’s                
          position with respect to sec. 6015(f) that petitioner has failed            
          to establish that she satisfies sec. 6015(b)(1)(C) and (D) for              
          any of the taxable years 1989, 1991, 1992, and 1993.
