          $590 per month.2  Petitioners made 27 equal monthly payments in             
          the amount of $590 each.  The payments commenced in approximately           
          August 1994.3                                                               
               In October 1996 petitioners requested from the IRS a written           
          statement as to the balance of taxes due.  By letter dated                  
          October 3, 1996, respondent provided petitioners a statement as             
          to the balance of taxes due.  The attachments reflected the                 
          following information as to petitioners’ tax liabilities:                   

               Form      Tax Year       Balance Due    As of (date)                   
               1040      1983           $1,692.15      11-03-96                       
               1040      1984           2,398.44       11-03-96                       
               1040      1988           139.98         11-03-96                       
               1040      1990           2,958.92       11-03-96                       
               1040      1991           3,535.22       11-03-96                       
               1040      1993           1,929.13       11-03-96                       
               Petitioners made a payment of $11,580, dated December 30,              
          1996, which was applied by the IRS on January 7, 1997.  The IRS             
          acknowledged the payment by letter dated February 4, 1997.                  
          Petitioners were advised that their accounts for the tax years              
          1984, 1988, and 1990 were paid in full.  By letter dated February           


               2  The installment agreement was not made part of the                  
          record.                                                                     
               3  Petitioners assert that 28 payments were made.  Since               
          there are other issues in this proceeding relating to the                   
          application of payments and whether respondent is bound by a                
          response to a balance inquiry, we do not deem the dispute about             
          whether petitioners made 27 payments or 28 payments to be                   
          relevant to our findings and conclusions.
