                  Respondent determined deficiencies in petitioner's Federal                            
            income taxes for the 1993 and 1994 tax years in the amounts of                              
            $1,511 and $2,243, respectively.  The 1993 and 1994 deficiency                              
            amounts represent petitioner's earned income credit claimed on                              
            her individual income tax returns for these years.  On the Income                           
            Tax Examination Changes sheet attached to the notice of                                     
            deficiency mailed to petitioner for the 1993 taxable year,                                  
            respondent calculated a deficiency in the amount of $1,511.                                 
                  As the result of a typographical error, the deficiency                                
            amount shown on the 1993 notice of deficiency was transposed to                             
            indicate a deficiency amount of $1,151.  The amount of the                                  
            deficiency in controversy for 1993 which petitioner disputes is                             
            $1,511 as set forth in the petition.  Respondent admits this in                             
            the Answer.                                                                                 
                  The issues for decision are:  (1) Whether petitioner is                               
            entitled to claim head of household filing status for 1993 and                              
            1994; and (2) whether petitioner is entitled to an earned income                            
            credit for the 1993 and 1994 tax years.                                                     
                  Some of the facts have been stipulated and are so found.                              
            The stipulation of facts and the attached exhibits are                                      
            incorporated herein by this reference.  At the time the petition                            
            was filed, petitioner resided in Alice, Texas.  Neither                                     
            petitioner nor her husband, Victor Madrigal, is fluent in
