          itemized her deductions.

          Co.; and (5) $10,644 from Pyramid Life Insurance Co.  In 1992, he

          from Bank South and he forfeited $15 in interest from Provident             
          Bank.  In 1992, Twentieth Century Investors, Inc., paid                     
          petitioner $30 for capital stock for a $30 capital gain.                    
          Twentieth Century Investors, Inc., also paid petitioner $3 in
