                                          2                                           
               Petitioners concede that they failed to report $47 of                  
          taxable interest income received in 1993.  Respondent concedes              
          that petitioners are entitled to two dependency exemption                   
          deductions for their daughters for the years in issue.  As a                
          result of respondent's concession, there is no deficiency in                
          income tax for 1993.  Therefore, we need not decide whether                 
          petitioners are entitled to additional dependency exemption                 
          deductions for 1993, as the issue is moot.  However, a deficiency           
          in self-employment tax remains at issue for 1993.  See sec.                 
          1402(a)(7).                                                                 
               After concessions, the issues for decision are whether                 
          petitioners are entitled to two additional dependency exemption             
          deductions under section 151 with respect to the mother and                 
          sister of Octavio Olvera (petitioner) for 1994, and whether                 
          petitioners are entitled to deductions for automobile and                   
          telephone expenses in excess of amounts allowed by respondent for           
          either of the years in issue.2                                              
               Some of the facts have been stipulated and are so found.               
          The stipulation of facts and the attached exhibits are                      
          incorporated herein by this reference.  Petitioners resided in              
          Chicago, Illinois, at the time their petition was filed.                    
               Petitioners are from Mexico and have two daughters, Janet              
          and Illiana.  Petitioners moved to the United States to seek                

          2    The computation of self-employment tax will be resolved by             
          this issue.
