          interest as provided by law) that is at issue for Ms. Latos’                
          taxable year 1995; (2) it is only the unpaid assessed income tax            
          due shown in each of the income tax returns for Ms. Latos’                  
          taxable years 1996 and 1997 (as well as assessed additions to tax           
          and interest as provided by law) that is at issue for each of               
          those years; and (3) it is only the unpaid assessed income tax              
          due shown in the 1998 return, increased by the income tax attrib-           
          utable to the mathematical error made in that return in calculat-           
          ing the total amount of exemptions allowable (as well as assessed           
          additions to tax and interest as provided by law), that is at               
          issue for Ms. Latos’ taxable year 1998.                                     
               It is Ms. Latos’ position that the Court should not sustain            
          the determinations with respect to her taxable years 1995 through           
          1998 set forth in the respective notices of determination upon              
          which these cases are based.13  In support of that position, Ms.            
          Latos argues that, because Mr. Anderson was an employee of the              
          owners of the boats on which he engaged in fishing activities               
          during each of the years 1995 through 1998, each such owner, as             
          Mr. Anderson’s employer, is responsible under section 3403 for              
          paying Ms. Latos’ unpaid 1995, 1996, 1997, and 1998 liabili-                


               13We do not have deficiency jurisdiction over the FICA tax             
          (or any interest thereon) with respect to Ms. Latos’ taxable year           
          1996.  See Chatterji v. Commissioner, 54 T.C. 1402, 1405 (1970).            
          Consequently, we do not have jurisdiction over respondent’s                 
          determinations in the 1995 through 1997 notice of determination             
          with respect thereto.  See sec. 6330(d)(1).
