                                 MEMORANDUM OPINION                                   

               NIMS, Judge:  Respondent determined a deficiency in                    
          petitioner's Federal income tax for 1993 in the amount of                   
          $11,129, and an accuracy-related penalty under section 6662(a)              
          for 1993 in the amount of $2,226.  All section references are to            
          sections of the Internal Revenue Code in effect for 1993, and all           
          Rule references are to the Tax Court Rules of Practice and                  
          Procedure.                                                                  
               There are two issues for decision.  The first is whether               
          petitioner is entitled to reduce Schedule C gross receipts or               
          sales by claimed returns and allowances in the amount of $45,243.           
          (Respondent's disallowance of this amount resulted in a self-               
          employment tax liability and a corresponding deduction of one-              
          half the amount thereof, both of which are reflected in the                 
          $11,129 income tax deficiency determined by respondent, but which           
          must be recomputed in accordance with discussion infra.)  The               
          second issue for decision is whether petitioner is liable for the           
          accuracy-related penalty under section 6662(a).                             
               Some of the facts were stipulated and are so found.                    
          Petitioner resided in Corona Del Mar, California, at the time he            
          filed his petition.
