          to the Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure, unless                    
          otherwise indicated.                                                        
               This case involves petitioners' petition for redetermination           
          of the deficiency of $2,500 determined in their Federal income              
          tax for tax year 2002.  The sole issue is whether petitioners are           
          liable for the 10-percent additional tax on early distributions             
          from qualified retirement plans imposed by section 72(t)(1) with            
          respect to a distribution of $25,000 from an individual                     
          retirement account (IRA) held by Michael J. Kulzer (petitioner)             
          in the Orange County Teachers Federal Credit Union (hereinafter             
          referred to as OCTFCU).                                                     
               The parties have stipulated some of the facts in this case,            
          and the stipulation of facts filed by the parties is hereby                 
          incorporated in this opinion.                                               
               Petitioners are husband and wife.  At the time they filed              
          their petition, petitioners resided in California.                          
               For both taxable years 2001 and 2002, petitioners filed a              
          joint return pursuant to section 6013(a).  Petitioners' return              
          for 2001 includes a Schedule C, Profit or Loss From Business, for           
          a business operated by petitioner called "Income Tax                        
          Preparation".  Petitioners' return for 2002 includes a Schedule             
          C-EZ, Net Profit From Business, for the same income tax                     
          preparation business.
