Petitioner did not keep other records of her business use of her
car. Petitioner's evidence shows that she paid automobile
insurance premiums totaling $1,740.61 during the year in issue.
Petitioner also worked for the Whitman-Walker Clinic in an
AIDS awareness program. She estimated that she devoted
approximately 20 hours each week to the clinic.
In May 1989, petitioner traveled to Haiti with a group on a
tour. The trip was petitioner's first to the country, and the
experience had a significant impact upon her. Petitioner became
interested in helping the people of Haiti and wanted to create a
group in Washington, D.C., to provide tours similar to the one
she had experienced. In June 1989, petitioner started to engage
in activities designed to create an interest in and provide
support for Haiti and, in doing so, she used the name Too Close
To Home. Petitioner carried on her activity during her lunch
hours and in the time between her other jobs. Petitioner hoped
to create a job for herself through her activity.
Sometime during the end of 1989, petitioner rented a portion
of a house located at 69 Observatory Circle, N.W., Washington,
D.C., at a cost of $375 a month. This was the address for Too
Close To Home.
