                                        - 7 -                                         
          rules of section 274(d).  Petitioner also provided copies of                
          credit card statements which list expenses matching those of the            
          summary with respect to certain airline tickets and car rentals             
          for travel to Texas.  She testified that she traveled to Texas on           
          several occasions to inspect certain property located there.                
          However, her reason for inspecting the property was family-                 
          oriented because the property was held in a trust in which family           
          members, not petitioner, were trustor and trustee.  Therefore, we           
          hold that these expenses were personal expenses which are                   
          nondeductible pursuant to section 262(a).                                   
               Reviewed and adopted as the report of the Small Tax Case               
          Division.                                                                   
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              
                                                 Decision will be entered            
                                             under Rule 155.
