2 Respondent determined a deficiency in petitioner's Federal income tax in the amount of $2,256 for the 1994 tax year. After a concession,1 the remaining issues for decision are: (1) Whether petitioner is entitled to claim Schedule C expenses for the 1994 tax year, and (2) whether petitioner is entitled to an earned income credit for 1994. 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 Milton, Massachusetts. FINDINGS OF FACT In 1994, petitioner worked in the entertainment media providing freelance makeup services for actors and models working in film, television, theater, and still photography. During this time petitioner was also a member of the Makeup and Hair Stylists Local Union 798 I.T.S.E. of New York, New York. Petitioner obtained work in the industry by reading various trade publications and by contacting production companies bringing theatrical productions to the Boston area. Petitioner also apparently obtained some work by referral. Once petitioner knew there would be work available on a certain date, petitioner sent her resume to companies that might hire her. Parties 1 Respondent concedes that petitioner reported rental income in the amount of $675 on Schedule C of petitioner's 1994 return.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Next
