- 4 - Petitioner testified that Ms. Froemel, Joshua, and Amber moved out of his apartment in October 1996. Petitioner also submitted a notarized statement from James and Annette Bunty, who operated D.I. & Eastern Texaco and lived in petitioner's neighborhood during all times relevant to this case. In their notarized statement, James and Annette Bunty state that Ms. Froemel, Joshua, and Amber lived with petitioner "during the year of 1995". Based on the record, we find that Ms. Froemel, Joshua, and Amber were members of petitioner's household for his entire 1995 taxable year.2 See sec. 1.152-1(b), Income Tax Regs. We further find that petitioner has proved that he provided more than half of Ms. Froemel's, Joshua's, and Amber's support during 1995, predicated upon our review and particular analysis of the evidence introduced at trial. The following chart summarizes our analysis of the evidence: 2 At trial, respondent's counsel stated that petitioner had previously provided respondent with a copy of the notarized statement and that respondent had no objection to the notarized statement being admitted as evidence. There is no evidence in the record which disputes petitioner's testimony that Ms. Froemel, Joshua, and Amber moved out of his apartment in October 1996.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Next
