SUPPLEMENTAL MEMORANDUM OPINION

PARR, Judge: The opinion in this case, T.C. Memo. 1994-268, was filed on June 13, 1994. In that opinion we held that (1) petitioner was not liable for additions to tax under section 66511*645 for failure to timely file his 1982 and 1983 tax returns because respondent did not timely raise the issue; (2) petitioner was not liable for an addition to tax under section 6653(a)(1) and (2) for negligence for tax year 1983 because the addition to tax for negligence was a new issue asserted in respondent's answer and she did not show that a reasonable and ordinarily prudent person under petitioner's circumstances 2 would have filed his income tax returns timely; and (3) this Court does not have jurisdiction to abate petitioner's liability for interest under section 6404(e). Furthermore, we determined that petitioner overpaid his 1983 tax liability.

In accordance with Rule 155, petitioner filed Petitioner's Computation for Entry of Decision on September 13, 1994, and respondent filed Respondent's Computation for Entry of Decision on October 4, 1994. Both parties filed memoranda supporting their Rule 155 computations.

In his Rule 155 computation, petitioner claims a refund for payments attributable to the 1983 tax year and made before the statutory notice of deficiency was issued. 3 Petitioner also provides for interest in his Rule 155 computations for tax years 1982-84. Petitioner filed his 1983 tax return on November 27, 1989, and a claim for refund on March 30, 1993. The statutory notice of deficiency was mailed on September 26, 1991.

*646 The issues arising from the difference in the parties' computations are: 4 (1) Whether this Court has jurisdiction to determine overpayments of additions to tax under sections 6651(a)(1) and (2) and 6654 when such additions are not subject to the deficiency procedures but we otherwise have jurisdiction over the tax on which such additions are based. We hold that we have jurisdiction. (2) Whether this Court has jurisdiction to determine the interest due on the deficiencies for tax years 1982 and 1984, and on the refund for 1983. We hold that we do not have jurisdiction to make this determination.

Issue 1. Jurisdiction -- Overpayments of Additions to Tax

In his memorandum in support of his Rule 155*647 computation, petitioner asserts that the Court has jurisdiction to determine a refund for tax year 1983, attributable to overpayments of additions to tax that were assessed based on the tax liability shown on petitioner's tax return. Respondent argues that this Court has jurisdiction over only those additions raised in the statutory notice of deficiency, or timely thereafter, and therefore, this Court cannot make a redetermination of additions that are not subject to the deficiency procedures, i.e., the immediately assessable portion of the additions, citing
