               Respondent determined a deficiency in petitioner's Federal             
          income tax for the year 1993 in the amount of $1,005.                       
               After concessions by petitioner,2 the issue for decision is            
          whether petitioner is entitled to an IRA deduction in excess of             
          the amount determined by respondent.  We hold that he is not.               


                                  FINDINGS OF FACT                                    
               Some of the facts have been stipulated, and they are so

          his petition was filed with the Court.                                      
               For the year in issue, petitioner and his wife filed a joint           
          Federal income tax return reporting wage income, which was earned           
          by petitioner's wife, in the amount of $4,235, interest income in           
          the amount of $34, dividend income in the amount of $4,640,                 
          capital gain in the amount of $353, taxable IRA distributions in            
          the amount of $2,900, and taxable pensions and annuities in the             
          amount of $10,645.  On a Schedule C, petitioner reported gross              
          income (in the form of commissions) in the amount of $271 and               

          (...continued)                                                              
          the Internal Revenue Code in effect for the taxable year in                 
          issue, and all Rule references are to the Tax Court Rules of                
          Practice and Procedure.                                                     
          2  Petitioner conceded the following adjustments: (1)                       
          Interest income in the amount of $24, (2) dividend income in the            
          amount of $2, and (3) capital gain in the amount of $4,950.                 
          Petitioner remitted $750 to respondent toward the deficiency                
          arising out of the aforementioned adjustments.
