                                        - 4 -                                         

          the Morris Street property; petitioners apparently hired resident           
          managers to act as the primary caregivers at the other                      
          properties.                                                                 
               The State of Oregon made the following payments to                     
          petitioners for care provided at the properties:                            
          Location                            1992           1993                     
          Morris Street property             $30,629        $21,257                   
          117th Avenue property              28,556         27,443                    
          Alder Street property              8,899          21,218                    
          134th Avenue property              14,092         10,216                    
               Petitioners took the position that all these payments were             
          excludable under section 131(a), and they did not report any of             
          the payments on their returns.                                              
               In the notice of deficiency, respondent did not contest (and           
          is not here contesting) the application of section 131 to the               
          payments received from the State of Oregon for care provided at             
          the Morris Street property, which is petitioners' “personal                 
          family residence”.  However, respondent determined (and urges us            
          to hold) that the exclusion does not apply to the payments                  
          received for care provided at the other properties, none of which           
          was petitioners' personal residence.  Petitioners also received             
          payments from private parties and from public agencies other than           
          the State of Oregon (e.g., the U. S. Department of Veterans                 
          Affairs), but the tax treatment of these payments is not in                 
          dispute.
