severely depressed. He also developed diabetes. He was under
medical care for both his diabetes and depression, and he was
unable to work. At some point, Mahmoud became eligible for
supplemental income payments (SSI) from the Social Security
Administration on account of his disability. Mahmoud received SSI
of $6,672 in 1995 and $7,517 in 1996. Neither Mahmoud nor Laila
filed a Federal income tax return for taxable years 1990 through
1996. On August 5, 1999, just over a month before trial, Mahmoud
died.
Fuad helped support the Mahmoud Daya family after Mahmoud
became disabled. Later, when Gabriel and Morhaf obtained full-
time employment, they helped support their family. The financial
support available to the Mahmoud Daya family during the years in
issue consisted of Mahmoud’s SSI, Fuad’s contributions to the
family, and a portion of Gabriel and Morhaf’s income.
In 1995 Gabriel was employed by Sbarro, Inc. and Taco Bell
Corporation and earned $19,115 in wages, net of deductions and
withholdings. In 1996 Gabriel was employed by Sbarro, Inc. and
earned $18,871 in wages, net of deductions and withholdings. In
1995 and 1996, Morhaf was employed by Nordstrom Incorporated
