          On each Schedule E, petitioner characterized the Pepper Pike                
          residence as property “held for sale”.  On line 23 of each                  
          Schedule E, petitioner claimed the total expenses listed above,             
          respectively, as a “Deductible rental real estate loss”.                    
          (Emphasis added.)                                                           
               For each year, petitioner computed the adjusted gross income           
          reported on his return as follows:                                          
                                             1993          1994                       
          Wages from Arthur Andersen         $90,283.09     $74,620.35                
          State income tax refund            80.10          1,877.75                  
          Rental real estate                 (31,513.04)    (10,504.35)               
          Unemployment compensation               ---       4,320.00                  
               Adjusted gross income         58,850.15      70,313.75                 
               The sale of the Pepper Pike residence is not reported on               
          petitioner’s 1994 return; it is reported on the 1994 return of              
          petitioner’s spouse as the sale of a principal residence subject            
          to section 1034.                                                            
               For each year in issue, petitioner computed his taxable                
          income taking into account his election to itemize deductions.              
          In this regard, his Federal income tax return for each of those             
          years includes a Schedule A, Itemized Deductions.  Among other              
          items, on the Schedules A, petitioner claimed medical expense               
          deductions computed as follows:
