                                  FINDINGS OF FACT1                                   
               Petitioner resided in California at the time his petition              
          was filed.  He timely filed his 1998 Federal income tax return,             
          Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, on which he                   
          reported wage income of $54,640.  During 1998, petitioner was               
          employed as an automobile salesman.  From February 26 through the           
          middle of June 1998, petitioner worked at Concord Honda in                  
          Concord, California (Concord).  From the middle of June 1998                
          through October 12, 1998, petitioner worked at Honda of                     
          Serramonte in Colma, California (Colma).  Petitioner’s residence            
          at all pertinent times during 1998 was in Pleasant Hill,                    
          California.                                                                 
               Petitioner had difficulty working with the general manager             
          at Concord, and he approached the personnel manager with his                
          problem.  The personnel manager advised petitioner that the                 
          Concord general manager would soon be leaving the Concord                   
          location.  The personnel manager offered to transfer petitioner             
          to the Colma dealership until the troublesome general manager               
          left Concord.  The Concord dealership was only a few miles from             
          petitioner’s Pleasant Hill residence, whereas the Colma                     
          dealership is approximately 64 miles from petitioner’s residence.           
          Petitioner made 97 round trips to the Colma location.                       



               1 The parties’ stipulation of facts is incorporated by this            
          reference.
