          as amended, and all Rule references are to the Tax Court Rules of           
          Practice and Procedure.                                                     
                                     Background                                       
               The parties submitted the instant case, fully stipulated,              
          without trial, pursuant to Rule 122.  The parties’ stipulations             
          of fact are hereby incorporated by this reference and are found             
          as facts in the instant case.                                               
               At the time of filing the petition, petitioner resided in              
          Doraville, Georgia.  During 2001, petitioner owned an individual            
          retirement account (IRA) with SouthTrust Bank.  On May 10, 2001,            
          SouthTrust Bank issued to petitioner a check in the amount of               
          $10,841.06 (the original check).  SouthTrust Bank debited                   
          petitioner’s IRA account by $10,841.06 and recorded the                     
          transaction as a premature distribution.  Subsequently,                     
          SouthTrust Bank submitted to respondent a 2001 Form 1099-R,                 
          reporting a taxable distribution of $10,841.06.  The records of             
          SouthTrust Bank indicated a zero balance in petitioner’s IRA                
          account as of January 15, 2002.                                             
               On March 21, 2003, petitioner presented the original check             
          to SouthTrust Bank for payment.  SouthTrust Bank canceled the               
          original check but issued petitioner a second check in the amount           
          of $10,841.06 (the replacement check), which reflected the                  
          current date.
