The petition challenges a $4,769 deficiency and a $954 addition to tax imposed by the IRS for tax year 1990.  He claimed an overpayment of $11,820,000.  His amended petition claimed an overpayment of $15,634,000.  He based these claims on money owing from his previous unsuccessful suits against the IRS.
