          Procedure.                                                                  

                                     Background                                       
               Respondent determined against petitioner tax deficiencies              
          for 1988 and 1989 in the respective amounts of $59,032 and                  
          $72,150.  The tax deficiencies related to petitioner’s income and           
          expenses from her solo law practice.                                        
               In 1996, as a resident of Minnesota, petitioner timely filed           
          a petition in this Court disputing the above tax deficiencies               
          that respondent had determined in petitioner’s Federal income               
          taxes for 1988 and 1989.  Westby v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo.                
          2004-179.                                                                   
               On December 7, 2004, after a trial and opinion, a decision             
          was entered in the above Tax Court case reflecting major downward           
          adjustments in the tax deficiencies determined against petitioner           
          by respondent; namely, the Court redetermined tax deficiencies in           
          petitioner’s Federal income taxes for 1988 and 1989 of $4,250               
          and $2,635, respectively.                                                   
               On April 8, 2005, respondent assessed the above-redetermined           
          and adjusted Federal income tax deficiencies against petitioner.
