          section 6651(a)1 of $1,476.75, and an addition to tax under                 
          section 6654(a) of $206.50.                                                 
               After concessions,2 we must decide the following issues:               
               (1) Whether petitioner is entitled to certain business                 
          expense deductions.  We hold that she is, to the extent discussed           
          below.                                                                      
               (2) Whether petitioner is entitled to a charitable                     
          contribution deduction.  We hold that she is, to the extent                 
          discussed below.                                                            
               (3) Whether petitioner is entitled to a casualty loss                  
          deduction.  We hold that she is not.                                        
               (4) Whether petitioner is entitled to a bad debt deduction.            
          We hold that she is not.                                                    
               (5) Whether petitioner is liable for an addition to tax                
          under section 6654(a).  We hold that she is, to the extent                  
          discussed below.                                                            


               1 Unless otherwise noted, all section references are to the            
          Internal Revenue Code in effect for the year in issue, and all              
          Rule references are to the Tax Court Rules of Practice and                  
          Procedure.                                                                  
               2 Petitioner has conceded that she is liable for the                   
          addition to tax under sec. 6651(a).                                         
               Petitioner did not file a return for 1993 prior to                     
          respondent’s issuance of the notice of deficiency.  In her 1993             
          return subsequently submitted, petitioner claimed a deduction               
          with respect to an individual retirement account.  The parties              
          have not addressed this issue, and we accordingly treat the                 
          deduction as conceded by petitioner.
