               In August 1992, petitioner took out a $1,000 cash advance on           
          his credit card.  Petitioner provided a credit card statement for           
          corroboration.  The amount represented by this cash advance in              
          the 1992 deposits is nontaxable.                                            
               Petitioner received loans from his mother during 1992.                 
          Petitioner provided a canceled check from his mother of $300.               
          Petitioner's mother also testified credibly regarding cash loans            
          of $500 and $300.  The amounts of these loans are not subject to            
          tax.                                                                        
               Petitioners claim that certain amounts of the 1992 deposits            
          are from the nontaxable cash hoard source.  On the basis of the             
          entire record, including the fact that both petitioners worked              
          during the year, we find $2,500 to be a reasonable appraisal of             
          deposits from the nontaxable cash hoard.                                    
               In sum, we find that $6,700 of the 1992 bank deposits is               
          nontaxable and must be removed from the unreported income                   
          determined by respondent.                                                   
          Issue 2.  Dependency Exemption                                              
               Respondent determined that petitioners were not entitled to            
          a claimed dependency exemption deduction for their daughter,                
          Jacqueline, for 1992.  The reason stated for the disallowance was           
          that petitioners did not establish that they had provided more              


               3(...continued)                                                        
          total reimbursement from the children and the agreed upon amounts           
          in the form of checks is the resulting cash reimbursement.
