                                        - 2 -                                         
               Respondent determined a deficiency of $10,422 in                       
          petitioner’s 1998 Federal income tax and an addition to tax under           
          section 6651(a)(1) of $2,338.50.2  The issues are whether                   
          petitioner is entitled to greater deductions for Schedule C,                
          Profit or Loss From Business, expenses than that allowed by                 
          respondent and whether petitioner is liable for the addition to             
          tax under section 6651(a)(1) for 1998.  Petitioner resided in               
          Commerce City, Colorado, at the time the petition was filed.                
          1. Post-Trial Motions                                                       
               On February 28, 2003, the Court received a document from               
          petitioner entitled “Motion to Admit Evidence”.  Attached to that           
          document were literally hundreds of documents most of which                 
          appear to be receipts.  As far as we can tell, however, these               
          documents are in no particular order, nor are there any                     
          explanations as to what the documents relate.  Accordingly, this            
          document and the attachments thereto will be returned to                    
          petitioner unfiled.                                                         
               Prior to the trial on October 23, 2002, petitioner and                 
          respondent executed a stipulation of facts that essentially                 
          provided that petitioner had substantiated approximately $54,000            
          in expenses.  On March 3, 2003, petitioner submitted a document             


          2    In the notice of deficiency, respondent also determined a              
          deficiency of $2,531 and an addition to tax under sec. 6651(a)(1)           
          of $273.45 for the taxable year 1999.  In the petition,                     
          petitioner did not raise the 1999 taxable year, and those                   
          determinations are not before the Court.
