                  At the outset, we note that there is a fundamental                  
             difference between expenditures that constitute "returns                 
             and allowances" and expenditures that are treated as                     
             business deductions under section 162.  See Beatty v.                    
             Commissioner, 106 T.C. 268, 273 (1996); Max Sobel                        
             Wholesale Liquors v. Commissioner, 69 T.C. 477 (1977),                   
             affd. 630 F.2d 670 (9th Cir. 1980); B.C. Cook & Sons, Inc.               
             v. Commissioner, 65 T.C. 422, 428 (1975), affd. per curiam               
             584 F.2d 53 (5th Cir. 1978); see also sec. 1.61-3(a),                    
             Income Tax Regs.  The former expenditures are taken into                 
             account in computing the gross income from a business                    
             activity.  See B.C. Cook & Sons, Inc. v. Commissioner,                   
             supra at 428.  Strictly speaking, they are not deductions
