                       MEMORANDUM FINDINGS OF FACT AND OPINION                        

               COLVIN, Judge:  Respondent determined deficiencies in                  
          petitioner’s Federal individual income tax of $7,535,620 for 2000           
          and $389,455 for 2001.  After respondent’s concession,1 the                 
          issues for decision are:                                                    
               1.   Whether $41,585,388 petitioner received in 2000 in a              
          corporate stock buyout of his shares in an S corporation and                
          interest credited in 2000 and 2001 to the account in which he               
          deposited the payment is included in petitioner’s income for                
          those years.  We hold that it is.                                           
               2.   Whether petitioner is required to include in income for           
          taxable year 2000 a distributive share of the S corporation’s               
          2000 income.  We hold that he is.                                           
               Unless otherwise indicated, section references are to the              
          Internal Revenue Code as amended in effect for the years in                 
          issue, and Rule references are to the Tax Court Rules of Practice           
          and Procedure.                                                              




               1  Respondent concedes that the amount of petitioner’s                 
          unreported interest income for 2001 is $44,021 less than                    
          respondent determined in the notice of deficiency.
