                                                 - 13 -                                                   
            reduced, thereby in all likelihood eliminating the claimed                                    
            carryover loss.                                                                               
                 The claimed $479,000 investment interest carryover from 1984                             
            relates to interest paid on a loan petitioners allegedly made to                              
            LCOR, a corporation owned and controlled by petitioners and by                                
            petitioners' relatives and/or friends.  The evidence in this case                             
            establishes neither the existence of a loan to LCOR nor the                                   
            existence or character of payments made by petitioners to LCOR.                               
                 Daniel and Eva are not entitled to any of the carryovers in                              
            dispute.  Respondent's disallowance of the claimed 1984 net                                   
            operating loss, investment interest, and investment credit                                    
            carryovers is sustained.                                                                      

            Gain on Sale of Residence                                                                     
                 In 1986, petitioners sold a residence located in McPherson,                              
            Kansas.  At trial, Daniel acknowledged that he, Eva, and other                                
            family members had often made personal use of this residence.  On                             
            petitioners' 1985 and 1986 joint Federal income tax returns, no                               
            rental income was reported by petitioners relating to the rental                              
            of this residence.                                                                            
                 On their 1986 joint Federal income tax return, petitioners                               
            claimed a $24,582 ordinary loss with regard to the sale of this                               
            residence.
