               Included in the deduction claimed by petitioner for other              
          taxes for the taxable year 1991 was a deduction for personal                
          property taxes.  The $20 allowed by respondent as a deduction for           
          personal property taxes was for petitioner's car registration.              
               The $11,116 deduction claimed by petitioner in 1991 as                 
          employee business expenses was in connection with petitioner's              
          employment by Avionics.  Avionics contracted out petitioner's               
          work to Northrup Grumman in Melbourne, Florida (Northrup                    
          Grumman).  Petitioner received reimbursement from Northrup                  
          Grumman for his employee business expenses related to a business            
          trip to Los Angeles.  The policy of Northrup Grumman was to                 
          reimburse persons doing contract labor for any business travel              
          expenses they incurred.  To the extent petitioner was not                   
          reimbursed for his business travel expenses, it was because he              
          did not follow the procedure required to receive reimbursement.             
          Had he followed the required procedure, he would have received              
          reimbursement.                                                              
               Among the itemized deductions claimed by petitioner on                 
          Schedule A of his Federal income tax return for the taxable year            
          1991 was a deduction in the amount of $14,714 for "repayment
