Petitioner, Betsy, and the children had gone to Snowmass in
1983. Betsy may have paid for the 1983 transportation by
charging it on her Markette American Express credit card, but
neither Betsy nor petitioner charged any of the other expenses of
that trip on their Markette American Express credit cards.
Check No. 2137--Shoreham. The American Express December
1985 invoice includes a $67 charge for petitioner’s and Betsy’s
dinner at the Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C. Petitioner made
this charge on his Markette American Express credit card on
December 7, 1985. This meal expense was paid for by Markette
check No. 2137. The primary purpose of this “night out” was
personal.
Check No. 2148--Betsy’s Western Trip. As we found, supra
(Check Nos. 2137, 2148, and 2203--Miami), on January 24, 1986,
Betsy bought a round-trip United Airlines ticket for herself from
Washington, D.C., to Miami, to Tucson, then San Diego, to Denver,
and back to Washington, D.C. The Tucson-San Diego leg of the
trip required a separate ticket on Pacific Southwest Airlines.
The former ticket cost $945 and the latter ticket cost $64; both
were charged on Betsy’s Markette American Express credit card.
Both tickets appeared on the American Express January invoice.
The $1,009 total of these western trip expenses was paid for by
Markette check No. 2148. This was a personal vacation trip for
Betsy.
