- 2 - 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 English, and their testimony was given through an interpreter.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Next
