                                     Background                                       
               This case was submitted fully stipulated pursuant to Rule              
          122, and the facts are so found.  The stipulation of facts and              
          accompanying exhibits are incorporated by this reference.                   
          Petitioners resided in Owatonna, Minnesota, at the time they                
          filed the petition.                                                         
               Mrs. Snorek operated a sole proprietorship upholstery                  
          business, Snorek Upholstery, during 2001.  That year, Snorek                
          Upholstery executed an adoption agreement to provide a medical              
          reimbursement plan for eligible employees through an organization           
          called AgriPlan/BizPlan (the plan).  Eligible employees under the           
          plan would be fully reimbursed by Snorek Upholstery for health              
          insurance costs for themselves and their immediate family and               
          reimbursed up to $3,000 for other out-of-pocket medical expenses.           
          To be reimbursed, an eligible employee was required to submit a             
          transmittal form to AgriPlan/BizPlan noting the amount the                  
          eligible employee paid or incurred for health insurance and out-            
          of-pocket medical expenses during the year.  AgriPlan/BizPlan
