          Schedule C.  Respondent determined that petitioner could not                
          deduct any of the amounts that she reported for contributions for           
          1989 and 1990 because she had not proven that these                         
          “contributions” were:  (1) Paid or (2) within the requirements of           
          section 170.  Respondent determined that petitioner could not               
          deduct any of the amounts that she claimed for miscellaneous                
          deductions for 1989 and 1990, primarily because she had not                 
          proven that these “deductions” were:  (1) Paid or (2) otherwise             
          allowable as deductible expenses.                                           
               For the same reasons as above, we sustain respondent’s                 
          determination with respect to this issue.  See Finesod v.                   
          Commissioner, supra.                                                        
               3.  Issue Three                                                        
               We decide whether petitioner is entitled to a credit for               
          dependent child care expenses for the 1990 taxable year.  On her            
          1990 Form 2441, Child and Dependent Care Expenses, petitioner               
          reported that she paid $8,400 to Morris W. Taub.  As petitioner             
          wrote on her 1990 Form 2441, “Dependent brother (alcoholic)                 
          became too depressed and ill to work and could not find a job.  I           
          paid all expenses for food, clothing, storage of personal                   
          belongings, moving expenses, car payment and housing.  He                   
          committed suicide in March of 1990.  I also paid burial                     
          expenses.”                                                                  
               Respondent determined that petitioner was not entitled to              
          her claimed credit because petitioner had not shown that the
