          February 1996 checks that were payable to Ms. Thompson and drawn            
          on Weavewood’s checking account.13                                          
               Weavewood’s February and April 1996 Checks                             
               With respect to petitioner’s use of Weavewood’s February and           
          April 1996 checks that were payable to Mr. Cavness or Mr.                   
          Villaume and drawn on Weavewood’s checking account, the record              
          establishes that petitioner used those checks to make payments              
          for petitioner’s personal expenses or to make payments to a                 
          nominee of petitioner.  On the record before us, we find that               
          petitioner has failed to carry his burden of showing that he used           
          those checks for or on behalf of Weavewood.  On that record, we             
          further find that petitioner has failed to carry his burden of              
          showing that he does not have unreported income of $8,350 for               
          1996 from his use of Weavewood’s February and April 1996 checks             
          that were payable to Mr. Cavness or Mr. Villaume and drawn on               
          Weavewood’s checking account.                                               
               Weavewood’s July 12, 1996 Checks                                       
               With respect to petitioner’s use of Weavewood’s July 12,               
          1996 checks that were payable to petitioner and drawn on                    


               13As discussed above, in Ms. Thompson’s supplemental affida-           
          vit which she wrote in July 1996 in connection with Weavewood’s             
          memorandum of law filed on July 22, 1996, Ms. Thompson denied               
          having received any moneys from Weavewood since August 1995.                
          Moreover, Ms. Thompson did not report as income in Ms. Thompson’s           
          1996 return Weavewood’s February 1996 checks totaling $26,000               
          that were payable to her, that petitioner signed, and that were             
          drawn on Weavewood’s checking account.
