          Federal income tax for 2002 and an addition to tax of $1,326.75             
          under section 6651(a)(1).  Unless otherwise indicated, all                  
          section references are to the Internal Revenue Code in effect for           
          the year in issue, and all Rule references are to the Tax Court             
          Rules of Practice and Procedure.                                            
               The issues for decision are whether petitioner is entitled             
          to any deductions disallowed in the statutory notice of                     
          deficiency and whether petitioner is entitled to relief under               
          section 6015.                                                               
                                     Background                                       
               Certain facts have been deemed stipulated pursuant to                  
          Rule 91(f).  Petitioner resided in Georgia at the time that her             
          petition was filed.  On March 24, 2004, she filed a joint Federal           
          income tax return for 2002 on a Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income           
          Tax Return, with Xavier White.  Petitioner filed a Complaint for            
          Divorce from Xavier White on November 28, 2005, and the Final               
          Judgment and Decree was entered on January 17, 2006.                        
               After reviewing the Form 1040 filed by petitioner and her              
          former husband, respondent disallowed the following claimed                 
          itemized deductions:                                                        
               (a) $17,028 of medical and dental expenses;

          comprised of:                                                               
                    (1) $16,649 of unreimbursed vehicle mileage                       
          expense;
