          1099-INT.3  In the notice that respondent issued to petitioner              
          for her taxable year 2003, respondent also increased the total              
          payments of tax shown in petitioner’s 2003 return by $1,354.71,             
          the amount that DFAS showed as “Federal income tax withheld” in             
          petitioner’s 2003 Form 1099-R.                                              
                                     Discussion                                       
               The Court may grant summary judgment where there is no                 
          genuine issue of material fact and a decision may be rendered as            
          a matter of law.  Rule 121(b);4 Sundstrand Corp. v. Commissioner,           
          98 T.C. 518, 520 (1992), affd. 17 F.3d 965 (7th Cir. 1994).                 
               We consider initially the first of the two issues raised in            
          petitioner’s motion and the only issue raised in respondent’s               
          motion, namely, whether petitioner must include in her gross                
          income for her taxable year 2003 the $13,809.35 that DFAS showed            
          as both “Gross distribution” and “Taxable amount” in petitioner’s           
          2003 Form 1099-R.  The parties agree, and we conclude, that there           
          is no genuine issue of material fact regarding that issue.5                 

               3In the notice, respondent rounded all amounts.                        
               4All Rule references are to the Tax Court Rules of Practice            
          and Procedure.  Unless otherwise indicated, all section refer-              
          ences are to the Internal Revenue Code in effect for the year at            
          issue.                                                                      
               5Petitioner contends that, when DFAS began withholding tax             
          from the amount to which she is entitled under petitioner’s                 
          divorce decree and petitioner’s property settlement agreement, it           
          also began calculating the amount to which she is entitled under            
          that divorce decree and property settlement agreement as 50                 
                                                             (continued...)
