          Accordingly, we conclude that petitioner is entitled to deduct              
          these expenses.                                                             
               Petitioner produced canceled checks and other information              
          concerning her business gifts.  We are satisfied that petitioner            
          has provided credible evidence and has satisfied the requirements           
          of section 274(b) and section 1.274-3(a), Income Tax Regs.,                 
          relating to the following business gift expenses:  $5 (Schultz);            
          $50 (Burns and Henderson); $25 (Wells); $25 (Slater); $25                   
          (Sullivan); $25 (Marsh); $16.28 (Berry); $72 (Rose, Wiley, and              
          Hytton); and $50 (Dorsey and Gray), for a total of $293.28 that             
          petitioner is entitled to deduct.                                           
          4.  Schedule E Loss                                                         
               On Schedule E petitioner reported nonpassive income of                 
          $1,962 and claimed a nonpassive loss of $5,249, which respondent            
          disallowed.  Petitioner indicated that both the loss and income             
          flowed through from a partnership as reported on a Schedule K-1.            
          The Schedule K-1 issued by Sams, Inc. reflects income of $1,962             
          but does not reflect the nonpassive loss of $5,249.  Petitioner             
          has failed to substantiate the claimed nonpassive loss of $5,249.
