               In the notice of deficiency, respondent disallowed all items           
          of expense relating to the rental activity.  Respondent also                
          reduced petitioners' income by the $20,400 of reported rental               
          income for each year in issue.  Respondent allowed petitioners'             
          home mortgage interest and tax deductions as itemized deductions            
          on Schedule A for each year in the identical amounts as claimed             
          and disallowed on Schedule E.  In addition, respondent disallowed           
          the losses claimed on Schedules E in the amounts of $29,913 and             
          $19,393 for 1994 and 1995, respectively.  These losses are S

               We begin by noting that the Commissioner's determinations              
          are presumed correct.  See Rule 142(a); Welch v. Helvering, 290
