- 4 - Arlene reentered the work force on a part-time basis. Beginning in 1974, and thereafter, she sold advertising space in the South Shore Record, a local newspaper, for which she was paid commissions. She also wrote a weekly drama review column for the same paper, for which she was paid nominal amounts. At the end of each year, petitioners' accountant, Paul Kreindler (Kreindler), would ask Arlene to prepare and submit to him handwritten statements reflecting her travel and other business expenses, as well as Forms 1099 and/or Forms W-2 that she received from her employers (including, in 1978, Atl. Beach Tennis), for the purpose of preparing Schedule C to reflect Arlene's commissions, fees from writing, and any other income- earning activities. Petitioners reported Schedule C income from Arlene's activities as follows: Year Gross Receipts Net Profit 1976 $5,715 $3,017 1977 7,663 4,880 1978 7,724 4,941 Petitioner used the money she earned to purchase art works-- mostly works on paper--and a fur jacket, because Harvey refused to give her money for these purposes. Arlene also used money she received from her father to buy one or two things. Arlene never received any large, unusual, or lavish gifts from her husband.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Next
