          Rules of Practice and Procedure.                                            
               Respondent determined deficiencies in petitioner’s Federal             
          income taxes for taxable years 2002 and 2003 in the amounts of              
          $10,021.60 and $11,841.60, respectively.  The issue for decision            
          is whether petitioner was a personal service corporation in the             
          tax years in question and accordingly subject to a special flat             
          tax rate of 35 percent.                                                     
                                     Background                                       
               This case was submitted fully stipulated pursuant to Rule              
          122.  The stipulation of facts and the attached exhibits are                
          incorporated herein by reference.  At the time the petition was             
          filed, petitioner’s place of business was in Syracuse, New York.            
               Petitioner filed a Form 1120, U.S. Corporation Income Tax              
          Return, for the taxable years 2002 and 2003.                                
               At all times during 2002 and 2003, petitioner was                      
          incorporated under the laws of New York.  Petitioner’s shares at            
          the end of both of the years at issue were held as follows:                 
                         Lawrence Apgar    122 shares                                 
                         James Oliver       50 shares

               1 Schedule E, Compensation of Officers, of Form 1120                   
          requires the corporation to provide certain information,                    
          including the names of officers, and the percentage of                      
          corporation stock owned by each officer.
