- 16 -                                         
          notice.  The existence of a closing agreement covering specific             
          matters for the years at issue does not abrogate respondent’s               
          duty to issue petitioners a deficiency notice before assessment.            
          Accordingly, we hold that respondent may not proceed with                   
          collection of petitioners’ liabilities.                                     
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              
                                                  Decision will be entered            
                                             for petitioners.
