                                       - 10 -                                         
          Finally, as respondent correctly points out, because neither Form           
          W-2 was marked as having been corrected, it was not reasonable              
          for petitioner and his accountant to believe, without questioning           
          petitioner’s employer, that only one of the Forms W-2 was                   
          correct.                                                                    
               Although this close case might have been more equitably                
          resolved by the parties, this Court is constrained to apply the             
          full penalty or no penalty at all.  Because petitioner has not              
          demonstrated reasonable cause and good faith for the                        
          underpayment, the Court sustains respondent’s imposition of the             
          section 6662(a) penalty.                                                    
               The Court has considered all of petitioner’s contentions,              
          arguments, requests, and statements.  To the extent not discussed           
          herein, we conclude that they are meritless, moot, or irrelevant.           
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              
                                                  Decision will be entered            
                                             for respondent.
