                                       - 19 -                                         
               Petitioners also requested an additional $20 which was not             
          listed as a cost in the itemized statement.  Petitioners                    
          presented no detailed explanation of what this cost related to.             
          We shall not award this amount.  Rule 231(d); Powers v.                     
          Commissioner, 100 T.C. at 492.                                              
               The itemized statement shows $1,203.02 in costs for fax,               
          postage, parking and taxi, photocopying, hotel, transcript, and             
          airplane ticket expenses.13  We find these amounts to be                    
          reasonable; therefore, we award 80 percent of these costs.                  
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              
                                                  An appropriate order                
                                             will be issued.                          


















               13  While we may not usually award costs for hotel and                 
          airplane ticket expenses, we find these costs to be reasonable              
          based upon all of the facts and circumstances present in this               
          case.  See supra note 11.
