                                       - 27 -                                         
          fair market value for a 25 percent interest received by the                 
          partnership, times 22.375 percent = $2,237, discounted 35 percent           
          = $1,454).                                                                  
                    b.   Cash                                                         
               Smith distributed $47,443.51 in cash to petitioners’                   
          children in 1995, which was petitioner’s 22.375-percent share of            
          the $229,530 cash received under the Stover bankruptcy                      
          settlement.  Petitioners included the cash in calculating the               
          value of a 22.375-percent interest in the Anis partnership, to              
          which they applied a 35-percent minority discount.  However,                
          petitioners are taxable on the $47,443.51 received by their                 
          children because those funds were paid by Smith directly to the             
          children, and that amount is not subject to a minority discount.            
                    c.   The Riverside Property                                       
               A one-half interest in the Riverside property was                      
          transferred to the partnership on May 30, 1995.                             
               Based on the book value for the property shown on the Anis             
          partnership’s balance sheet, respondent contends that the value             
          of petitioner’s 22.375 percent interest in the Riverside property           
          in 1995 was $61,903.58, calculated as follows:                              
               $425,637  (� interest in the Riverside property)*                      
               x 22.375% (petitioner’s partnership interest)                          
               $95,236.28                                                             
               x 65%      (35% minority/marketability discount)                       
               $61,903.58                                                             
          * per partnership’s balance sheet
