                                        - 3 -                                         
               Petitioner submitted to the Internal Revenue Service a Form            
          1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, for 2001 listing only              
          zeros, e.g., listing zero income and zero tax due.  Attached to             
          the Form 1040 was an affidavit from petitioner containing                   
          frivolous and groundless arguments.                                         
                                       OPINION                                        
          I.  Deficiencies                                                            
               Section 61 defines gross income as all income from whatever            
          source derived.  Gross income includes, among other things,                 
          pensions and annuities.  Sec. 61(a); see also sec. 72.                      
               Petitioner admits that he received the income listed in the            
          notice of deficiency from the Defense Finance and Accounting                
          Service and from the TRW pension plan.  Petitioner admits that              
          the amounts received from the Defense Finance and Accounting                
          Service were not amounts received as a pension or annuity for               
          personal injury or sickness resulting from active service in the            
          Armed Forces or as a disability annuity.  See sec. 104(a)(4)                
          (excluding such amounts from income).                                       
               Accordingly, we conclude that the pension distributions                
          petitioner received during 2001 from the Defense Finance and                
          Accounting Service and from the TRW pension plan are includable             
          in income for 2001.
