          properties, and (2) that substantial revenue from the various               
          activities with which petitioner was involved appeared to                   
          constitute income to petitioner personally.                                 
               Respondent also concluded that petitioner appeared to be               
          planning to transfer property into the name of a nominee entity             
          (a so-called “corporation sole”) and that this planned transfer,            
          among other things, indicated a “willful and deliberate attempt             
          [by petitioner] to conceal the receipt of taxable income and to             
          evade federal income taxes.”2                                               
               Based on respondent’s conclusion, on June 1, 2004,                     
          respondent made jeopardy assessments under section 6861 against             
          petitioner of income tax, of additions to tax under section                 
          6651(f) for civil fraud and under section 6654 for underpayment             
          of estimated tax, and of interest, relating to 1995, 1996, and              
          1997, as follows:                                                           

              Additions to Tax                                                        
          Year       Tax      Sec. 6651(f)  Sec. 6654     Interest                    
          1995      $44,898       $33,674     $2,434        $66,985                   
          1996      39,747        29,810      2,116         48,268                    
          1997      98,941         74,206      5,293        94,585                    

               On June 3, 2004, respondent’s agent hand delivered to                  
          petitioner at petitioner’s then current residence (viz,                     
          29 Cummings Road, Pensacola, Florida 32503) a notice of the above           


               2  The use by tax protesters of abusive “corporations sole”            
          is well documented.  See, e.g., United States v. Harkins, 355 F.            
          Supp. 2d 1175 (D. Or. 2004); Rev. Rul. 2004-27, 2004-1 C.B. 625.
