          the following business expenses:                                            
               Gross     Expense                       Total     Community            
          Year Receipts  X Percent  =Expense  +Deprec.1  =  Deduction  Share (1/2)      
          1982 $57,009   41        $23,374   $8,000    $31,374   $15,687

          In addition, respondent allowed excess itemized deductions as               
          follows:
