          when petitioners again ran into severe financial difficulty.                
               Petitioners’ 1995 Federal income tax return reported tax of            
          $4,494, withholding credits of $805, and a balance due of $3,689.           
          On June 3, 1996, respondent assessed the tax reported by                    
          petitioners in their 1995 return, along with penalties and                  
          interest.  Also on June 3, 1996, notice and demand for payment of           
          the 1995 income tax liability was sent to petitioners.  However,            
          petitioners failed to pay the amount due.                                   
               Petitioners’ 1996 Federal income tax return reported tax of            
          $5,370, withholding credits of $2,242, and a balance due of                 
          $3,128.  On May 26, 1997, respondent assessed the tax reported by           
          petitioners in their 1996 return, along with penalties and                  
          interest.  Also on May 26, 1997, notice and demand for payment of           
          the 1996 income tax liability was sent to petitioners.  However,            
          petitioners failed to pay the amount due.                                   
               Petitioners’ 1997 Federal income tax return reported tax of            
          $3,448, withholding credits of $1,081, and a balance due of                 
          $2,367.  On September 7, 1998, respondent assessed the tax                  
          reported by petitioners in their 1997 return, along with                    


          1Petitioners claim that this $3,200 payment was made to pay                 
          off their 1996 tax liability.  However, petitioner did not                  
          present any evidence that the payment was earmarked for the 1996            
          tax liability.  In fact, petitioners have not made any attempt to           
          get a copy of the check or any other evidence that would                    
          substantiate their claim.
