                                  FINDINGS OF FACT                                    
               Some facts have been stipulated and are so found.  The                 
          stipulation of facts, with attached exhibits, is incorporated               
          herein by this reference.                                                   
          Residence                                                                   
               At the time the petitions were filed, petitioner resided in            
          Midland, Texas.                                                             
          Petitioner’s Forms 1040                                                     
               1998                                                                   
               Petitioner obtained an extension of time to file his 1998              
          Federal income tax return until October 15, 1999.  On October 7,            
          1999, petitioner submitted to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)            
          a Form 1040, Individual Income Tax Return, for 1998 (the 1998               
          Form 1040).  Petitioner reported $1,114.04 on line 16b (taxable             
          pensions and annuities), which was his only item of reported                
          income for 1998.  Because his standard deduction and personal               
          exemption exceeded his income, he reported a zero tax liability2            
          and sought a refund of the tax payments reported on lines 57                
          (Federal income tax withheld), 58 (1998 estimated tax payments              
          and amount applied from 1997 return), and 62 (excess Social                 
          Security tax withheld), which totaled $5,534.36.  He attached               
          copies of (1) a Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, for 1998 from             


               2  For the same reason, petitioner reported a zero tax                 
          liability for the other years at issue:  1999, 2001, and 2002.
