                                       - 84 -                                         
          taxpayer’s brief found tantamount to concession), affd. 125 F.2d            
          467 (7th Cir. 1942); Water Resource Control v. Commissioner, T.C.           
          Memo. 1991-104 (statements at trial and on opening brief deemed             
          concession of interest deductions claimed on returns), affd.                
          without published opinion sub nom. Whitehouse v. Commissioner,              
          972 F.2d 1328 (2d Cir. 1992).  Nothing in the record contradicts            
          that concession.  Accordingly, we hold that no adjustment is                
          required in Sylvia’s source and application of funds analysis for           
          gambling expenditures.                                                      
                    6.  Additional Items Identified as in Dispute                     
               The parties have identified the following items through                
          joint finding of fact No. 4 as items to which they do not agree.            
                    a.  Withholding on Gambling Winnings                              
               In the source and application of funds analysis for Sylvia             
          for 1988, see infra Appendix G, respondent included as an                   
          application of funds $345 for estimated withholding on gambling             
          winnings.  Petitioners do not explain why they disagree with that           
          item.  In the source and application of funds analysis for 1988,            
          respondent credited Sylvia with $38,550 in winnings from gambling           
          activities on December 23, 1988.  Petitioners do not disagree               
          with that item.  We conclude that an estimated $345 withholding             
          at source is reasonable considering the amount of Sylvia’s                  
          gambling winnings on December 23, 1988; accordingly, we hold that
