- 18 - Petitioner explained only $14,230.89 of the $133,523.32 that petitioner and Maxine disbursed from Barnett money market in 1986. The $14,230.89 represents expenditures for accounting services for Ben's enterprises or for the racing boat enterprises. The source of another $30,204.45 is undisputed: a refund check from the IRS. Table 9 reconstructs the bank deposits for 1986 and summarizes the various explanations; as set forth therein, petitioner had net unexplained bank deposits of $99,077.39 for 1986. Table 10, using income and deductions stipulated by the parties, or calculated in respondent's notice of deficiency for 1986 and 1987, calculates petitioner's taxable income for 1986. In 1987, the Safra account was inactive and closed in July of that year. No deposits were made other than one for $400 to correct an overdraft. During 1987, Barnett money market continued to be active. However, only $4,175 was deposited into the account, while petitioner spent $12,650.93 supporting Ben's enterprises. Since the expenditures tend to explain the deposits, only $4,175 is credited to explaining 1987 deposits. The balance is applied to explaining their source: the 1986 deposits. Petitioner's disbursements from this account paid Apache Power Boat's building rental and $4,850.93 for property taxes for Ben's property. Funds also went to Allsworth's trust account. Respondent conceded a $150,000 loan from petitioner's sister-in-law used to post petitioner's bail. This correspondsPage: Previous 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 Next
