          Beck had unreported income and that Dr. Beck is entitled to a               
          corresponding deduction for the community property split of his             
          income, as follows:                                                         
                         Year                  Amount                                 
                         1991                $154,829                                 
                         1992                147,095                                  
                         1993                 1159,121                                
                         1994                 1207,057                                
                         1995                226,869                                  
                    1 As previously described, it appears that for                    
               1993 and 1994 respondent has overstated the amount of                  
               Dr. Beck’s Schedule C income, thus resulting in an                     
               overstatement of the amounts of community property                     
               income for 1993 and 1994.  We expect these errors to be                
               corrected in the Rule 155 computation.                                 
               Respondent disallowed entirely the Schedule F farm losses              
          that Dr. Beck claimed for 1993, 1994, and 1995, on the ground               
          that Dr. Beck had not established that each claimed loss                    
          “constitutes an ordinary and necessary business expense, was                
          expended, or was expended for the designated purpose.”                      
          Respondent also disallowed the NOL carryforward deductions that             
          Dr. Beck claimed for each year in issue, on the ground that Dr.             
          Beck had “neither established * * * [his] entitlement under the             
          Internal Revenue Code to [claim] a net operating loss nor                   
          substantiated the amount of any loss.”                                      
                                       OPINION                                        
          Dr. Beck’s Schedule C Deductions                                            
               For each year in issue, respondent disallowed a portion of             
          Dr. Beck’s claimed Schedule C expenses as described above.
