          tell from the notice of determination how respondent arrived at             
          the $1,801 amount owed by petitioner.  Accordingly, we shall                
          review petitioner’s 1992 liability step by step.                            
               As an initial matter, we agree with respondent’s computation           
          contained in petitioner’s 1992 nonmaster file transcript of the             
          amounts allocable to petitioner for 1992 after granting partial             
          section 6015 relief.  Accordingly, respondent was correct to                
          compute the amount of tax and the addition to tax owed by                   
          petitioner as $3,211 and $374.47, respectively.                             
               On April 15, 1999, respondent applied petitioner’s 1998                
          overpayment as follows:  $1,921.62 to the tax allocated to                  
          petitioner for 1992 and $949.38 to petitioner’s employment tax              
          liabilities.8                                                               
               Respondent claims that he applied petitioner’s 1999                    
          overpayment of $3,268 to the amount of the 1992 liability                   
          respondent allocated to petitioner pursuant to section 6015(f).             
          On April 15, 2000, respondent applied petitioner’s 1999                     
          overpayment to petitioner’s 1992 nonmaster file transcript as               
          follows:  $1,998.12 to the tax allocated to petitioner for 1992             
          and $515.29 to the addition to tax allocated to petitioner for              
          1992.  This totals only $2,513.41.  Although the Form 2866                  
          reflects a $3,268 credit for 1999 to the total liability (of                


               8  Petitioner’s employment tax liabilities are not before              
          the Court.
