          because of the uncertainty of whether TEFRA procedures in                   
          sections 6221-6234 apply to those items.1  See Tax Equity and               
          Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (TEFRA), Pub. L. 97-248, secs.            
          402-407(a), 96 Stat. 648.  However, we have jurisdiction over one           
          of the items adjusted regardless of whether TEFRA applies.                  
          Therefore, respondent’s motion will be denied.                              
                                     Background                                       
               Petitioners are husband and wife.  Their residence at the              
          time of filing the petition was in Hermosa Beach, California.               
          Respondent issued a notice of deficiency for the taxable year               
          2001 to petitioners on January 27, 2005.  The deficiency notice             
          contained adjustments arising from petitioner’s interest in a               
          partnership called Alameda Investments, L.L.C. (Alameda).  On its           
          Form 1065, U.S. Return of Partnership Income, for 2001 Alameda              
          listed an ordinary loss of $12,279 from trade or business                   
          activities.  On petitioner’s Schedule K-1, Partner’s Share of               
          Income, Credits, Deductions, etc., petitioner was identified as             
          the 99-percent owner of Alameda.  A separate Schedule K-1                   
          identified Clarion Forex Advisors XV, LLC (Clarion Forex) as the            
          1-percent partner.  The Schedule K-1 for petitioner allocated to            
          her, as her distributive share, 100 percent of the partnership’s            




               1Unless otherwise indicated, all section references are to             
          the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.
