                                       - 14 -                                         
               Having considered all of the relevant facts and                        
          circumstances, we conclude that petitioners are not entitled                
          to the deductions here in dispute because their Amway                       
          distributorship was not a trade or business within the meaning              
          of section 162(a) for either year in issue.  Respondent’s                   
          determinations in this regard are, therefore, sustained.                    
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              
                                                  Decision will be                    
                                             entered for respondent.
