                                       - 13 -                                         
          purposes (as his residence) while attempting to rent out the                
          remaining bedrooms, he cannot rely upon section 280A(d)(4) to               
          avoid the application of section 280A(c)(5).  See Walsh v.                  
          Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1987-18.                                           
               Accordingly, we hold that the deductions claimed on the                
          Schedule E filed with petitioner's 1991 Federal income tax are              
          limited to the gross income reported on the Schedule E pursuant             
          to section 280A(c)(5), and respondent's adjustment in this regard           
          is sustained.                                                               
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              
                                                       Decision will be               
                                                  entered for respondent.
