1Opinion of the Court
EASTERBROOK, Circuit Judge.
After William and Charlene Creske prevailed in their dispute with the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, they sought attorneys’ fees and other litigation costs under 26 U.S.C. § 7430. We remanded so that the Tax Court could explain why it denied the Creskes’ application. 896 F.2d 250 (1990). The Tax Court issued an opinion stating that because the unexplained facts offered support for the Commissioner, and the outcome depended on its resolution of a credibility dispute, the government’s position was substantially justified. 59 T.C.M. 1001 (1990).
