          1989 reported gross income includes their pro rata share of NPI’s           
          reported gross income, which equals $79,712 (66.7 percent of                
          $119,508).                                                                  
               For purposes of applying section 6501(e), we hold that the             
          Bensons’ reported gross income of $615,378 on their 1989 return,            
          which is itemized as follows:

               We hold that the Bensons omitted 72 percent14 of their                 
          reported gross income in 1989; therefore, the 6-year period of              
          limitations applies to their 1989 tax year as provided by section           
          6501(e)(1)(A).

               The parties contend that the Bensons omitted gross income in           
          1994 as follows:                                                            




               14 $444,086 / $615,378 equals 71.641 percent.
