                                        -22-                                          
          indefinitely.  See sec. 6501(c)(1); Sam Kong Fashions, Inc. v.              
          Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 2005-157.  Accordingly, respondent is              
          not barred from assessing petitioners’ deficiencies.  See sec.              
          6501(c)(1).                                                                 
               Respondent would not be barred from assessing petitioners’             
          taxes for the years at issue even if we had not found that                  
          petitioners had filed false and fraudulent returns.  The                    
          limitations period is extended to 6 years if a taxpayer omits               
          from gross income an amount that is 25 percent of the amount the            
          taxpayer stated in the return.  Sec. 6501(e)(1)(A).  Both                   
          petitioners omitted from gross income amounts vastly in excess of           
          25 percent of the amounts stated on the returns, and the                    
          limitations period would be extended to 6 years.  Respondent                
          issued deficiency notices within 6 years of the due dates of the            
          returns and is thus not barred from assessing petitioners’ taxes.           
               We have considered all remaining arguments the parties made            
          and, to the extent not addressed, we conclude they are                      
          irrelevant, moot, or meritless.                                             
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              

                                                  Decisions will be entered           
                                             for respondent.
