- 2 - Sue Taylor, pro se. Cameron M. McKesson, for respondent. MEMORANDUM FINDINGS OF FACT AND OPINION WHERRY, Judge: Respondent determined Federal income tax deficiencies in the amounts of $49,525 and $39,717 together with penalties pursuant to section 6662(a) in the amounts of $9,905 and $7,943.40 for taxable years 1999 and 2000, respectively.1 After concessions,2 the issues for decision are: 1 Unless otherwise indicated, all section references are to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and in effect for the years in issue, and all Rule references are to the Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure. 2 Respondent conceded petitioner’s allegedly unreported income derived from National Land Bank LLC (National Land Bank) in the amount of $43,862 for 1999 because respondent determined that a tax return was filed for National Land Bank. However, there was a mathematical subtraction error on National Land Bank’s Form 1065, U.S. Partnership Return of Income, for 1999. Instead of reporting $10,308 in income, National Land Bank reported a $10,308 loss. Petitioner’s Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, Schedule E, Supplemental Income and Loss, consistent with the erroneous Form 1065, Schedule K-1 (Form 1065), Partner’s Share of Income, Credits, Deductions, Etc., reported her 50-percent alleged distributive share loss of $5,154. The notice of deficiency for 1999 eliminated the $5,154 loss but, because of the claimed $43,862 income adjustment, did not contain an adjustment to properly reflect her mathematically corrected share of reported National Land Bank income. Furthermore, as discussed infra in text, the Court finds that petitioner is taxable in 1999 and 2000 on the income of Speck Trust, the other 50-percent member of National Land Bank. Therefore, petitioner has a total of $10,308 (her 50-percent $5,154 share plus Speck Trust’s 50-percent $5,154 share) of additional income for 1999 from National Land Bank in lieu of the conceded $43,862.
