          Sec. 1.6081-4(a)(4), Income Tax Regs.  If the estimate of tax is            
          not reasonable, then the extension request, even if granted, will           
          be void.  Clayton v. Commissioner, 102 T.C. 632, 651 (1994).                
               Ahmed did not introduce into evidence the allegedly filed              
          Form 4868, and we are therefore unable to determine whether Ahmed           
          reasonably estimated his 1998 tax liability.  We infer from                 
          Ahmed’s failure to introduce the allegedly filed Form 4868 that             
          the evidence would be detrimental to Ahmed.  See Wichita Terminal           
          Elevator Co. v. Commissioner, 6 T.C. 1158, 1165 (1946), affd. 162           
          F.2d 513 (10th Cir. 1947).                                                  
               For purposes of computing Ahmed’s 1998 section 6651(f)                 
          fraudulent failure to file addition to tax, Ahmed’s 1998 joint              
          Federal income tax return is to be treated as filed untimely.4              

          Self-Employment Taxes                                                       
               Ahmed argues that for 1997 and 1998 self-employment taxes              
          should not be imposed on the stipulated collapsed income charged            
          to him from the nominee corporations.                                       
               Section 1401(a) imposes a self-employment tax on                       
          individuals’ self-employment income.  Self-employment income is             
          defined as the “net earnings from self-employment”, which is                

               4  Ahmed, in his Rule 155 computation, made several                    
          alternative arguments relating to the length of the applicable              
          period for computing the sec. 6651(f) addition to tax.  Ahmed’s             
          arguments are without merit, and Ahmed’s 1998 joint Federal                 
          income tax return is to be treated as filed more than 5 months              
          past the due date.
