Estate of Burton W. Kanter, Deceased, Joshua S. Kanter, Executor, and Naomi R. Kanter, et al. - Page 299

                                                -362-                                                   
                  Respondent determined the Kanters failed to maintain or                               
            provide adequate books and records with respect to their taxable                            
            income for 1982.  Respondent further determined Kanter had in                               
            excess of $2 million in unreported income for 1982, which                                   
            unreported income determination was based upon respondent’s                                 
            analysis of deposits to Kanter’s three American National Bank                               
            accounts.  The deposit slips from which respondent reconstructed                            
            Kanter’s 1982 taxable income did not specify the taxable or                                 
            nontaxable nature of the deposits.144  At trial, Kanter offered                             
            into evidence his check register and a series of spreadsheets and                           
            a summary analysis of his bank deposits prepared by Gallenberger.                           
            Exhs. 9168-9172.                                                                            
                  Respondent conceded a portion of the subject adjustment, but                          
            maintains Kanter failed to report $1,303,207 of income for 1982                             
            based on the bank deposits from the payors or sources in the                                
            amounts listed below:                                                                       





                  144  The record does not disclose whether the Kanters                                 
            provided the check register to the revenue agent who examined                               
            their 1982 return.  Apparently the revenue agent had been                                   
            unsuccessful in obtaining a number of documents requested from                              
            the Kanters, as the agent attempted to reconstruct Kanter’s 1982                            
            taxable income based upon an analysis of Kanter’s bank account                              
            deposits.  To obtain copies of the bank account statements and                              
            other account information, the agent issued a third-party                                   
            administrative summons to the bank.
