          claim to have cared for them as her own children.2  Sec.                    
          32(c)(3)(B)(iii).  Respondent’s determination that petitioner is            
          not entitled to an earned income credit for 1996 is sustained.              
               Based on the foregoing,                                                


                                                  Decision will be                    
                                             entered for respondent.                  


























               2 When asked at trial, petitioner could not explain why two            
          of her siblings were identified as her foster children on her               
          1996 return.  According to petitioner, her return preparer,                 
          apparently aware of the earned income credit implications,                  
          advised her to do so.
