                                     Background                                       
               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.  Petitioner resided in               
          Flat Rock, North Carolina, on the date the petition was filed in            
          this case.                                                                  



          1At trial, respondent conceded that the amount of the                       
          deficiency for taxable year 2001 set forth in the notice of                 
          deficiency was not correct.  Instead, respondent claims that the            
          correct deficiency is $1,046.                                               
          2At trial, respondent conceded that petitioner was entitled

          3If the $44,833 gambling winnings are included in                           
          petitioner’s gross income, he must also include Social Security             
          benefits received of $8,690 in his gross income for taxable year            
          2001 pursuant to sec. 86.
