                                        - 5 -                                         
          argues is necessary.  Petitioner has established to our                     
          satisfaction that he meets the requirements for each of the                 
          relevant Code provisions.  With respect to the dependency                   
          exemption deductions, filing status, and earned income credit,              
          there is scant evidence in the record concerning the financial              
          support of the children, the cost of maintaining their household,           
          or the income of the children’s mother.  However, because                   
          respondent was clear at trial that his sole disagreement with               
          petitioner was over legal custody of the children, we find that             
          respondent has conceded these issues.  We accordingly hold that             
          petitioner is entitled to head of household filing status, the              
          dependency exemption deductions, and the earned income credit as            
          claimed.                                                                    
               Reviewed and adopted as the report of the Small Tax Case               
          Division.                                                                   
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              
                                             Decision will be entered                 
                                        under Rule 155.
