          tional amounts, such as the amounts that petitioner received when           
          he cashed, and did not deposit, in whole or in part certain                 
          checks or when he used certain checks to purchase certain cash-             
          ier’s checks.                                                               
               In the notices, respondent disallowed the cost of goods sold           
          claimed in Schedules C for 1991, 1992, and 1993 in the respective           
          amounts of $12,849, $113,935, and $54,337.  In the notice for               
          1991 and 1992, respondent also disallowed for those two years               
          claimed Schedule C deductions of $24,796 and $16,278, respec-               
          tively.                                                                     
               In the notice for 1991 and 1992, respondent disallowed all             
          of the claimed Schedule E rental expenses for 1991 and 1992 in              
          the amounts of $20,980 and $6,817, respectively,                            
               because it has not been established that they were                     
               ordinary and necessary business expenses or were ex-                   
               pended for the purpose designated.  In addition, you                   
               have not established an ownership interest in these                    
               properties nor has it been established that you were at                
               risk per section 465 of the Internal Revenue Code.                     
               * * *                                                                  
          As an alternative ground for disallowing the claimed Schedule E             
          rental expenses for 1991 and 1992, respondent determined that               
               the claimed losses are not allowable per Section 469 of                
               the Internal Revenue Code because you did not actively                 
               participate in the management of the rental properties                 
               and because you have no other passive income to offset                 
               the passive losses.                                                    
               In the notice for 1991 and 1992, respondent also determined            
          that, instead of the $27,000 loss which petitioner and Ms.
