Mr.  Charles C. Smith
Route  1, Box 945
Hattiesburg,  Maryland  39401

Dear  Mr. Smith:

This  is in response  to your letter dated February 26,  1988,
which  was received by  our Office on April 8, 1988.  Your
question  concerns the  taxes you paid on severance pay  you
received  in September  1986.

We  regret that we  are unable to assist you in this matter.
While  this Office has  jurisdiction to decide questions
related  to severance  pay granted under 5 U.S.C. § 5595, our
Office  has no jurisdiction  to issue revenue rulings.
The  income tax consequences  of actions taken relating to
severance  pay are primarily  matters for consideration and
determination  by the  Internal Revenue Service.  We therefore
-suggest that you direct  your questions to the Internal
Revenue  Service office  serving your location.


Sincerely  yours,




Sheila  K. Ratzenberger
Attorney-Adviser
