                                 MEMORANDUM OPINION                                   
               HALPERN, Judge:  By notice of deficiency dated November 20,            
          1997 (the notice), respondent determined a deficiency in                    
          petitioner’s Federal income tax for its taxable year ended                  
          September 30, 1994 (the 1994 tax year), in the amount of $63,232            
          and an accuracy-related penalty in the amount of $12,646.                   
               Unless otherwise indicated, all section references are to              
          the Internal Revenue Code in effect for the year in issue, and              
          all Rule references are to the Tax Court Rules of Practice and              
          Procedure.                                                                  
               The parties have resolved certain issues, and issues                   
          remaining for decision are (1) the validity of the notice,                  
          (2) petitioner’s entitlement to certain deductions for rent,                
          depreciation, business meals, travel, supplies, and legal fees,             
          and (3) the accuracy-related penalty.                                       
               Some facts have been stipulated and are so found.  The                 
          stipulation of facts, with accompanying exhibits, is incorporated           
          herein by this reference.  We need find few facts in addition to            
          those stipulated and will not, therefore, separately set forth              
          our findings of fact.  We will make additional findings of fact             
          as we proceed.  Petitioner bears the burden of proof.  See                  
          Rule 142(a).
