          utilities of $289; and books of $16.  These amounts are                     
          deductible under section 162.                                               
               Petitioner provided evidence concerning the attempted                  
          creation of his Web site.  Because petitioner primarily intended            
          for the Web site to promote his CAD drafting services, it is a              
          deductible advertising expense under section 162.                           
               Petitioner has failed to provide any facts concerning the              
          expenses relating to the following claimed deductions:  Rent or             
          lease of vehicles, machinery, and equipment; rent or lease of               
          other business property; and repairs or maintenance.                        
          Accordingly, these expenses are disallowed.                                 
               Reviewed and adopted as the report of the Small Tax Case               
          Division.                                                                   
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              
                                                  Decision will be entered            
                                             under Rule 155.
