Starting in February 1998, petitioner began working for
Molly Maid, Inc. He worked there throughout 1998. In January
1999, petitioners and their golden retrievers, Morgan and Cujo,
moved from Michigan to Virginia where petitioner began to work
for Argenbright Security.
Petitioners lived in a house that they rented in Virginia
during 1999. Because they had two dogs, their landlord required
them to make what petitioner referred to as an “additional”
security deposit.
The Leader Dog School for the Blind is located in Rochester
Hills, Michigan, about 130 miles from where petitioners resided
during 1997 and 1998. From time to time during 1999, petitioners
traveled by car from their home in Virginia to Michigan.
Petitioner did not keep a mileage log or other records related to
the expenses incurred during these trips.
Petitioners owned two cars during the years in issue.
According to their automobile insurance policy, one car was
insured for “pleasure” use, and the other car was insured “to
drive to work or school more than 3 miles but less than 15
miles”.
Petitioners’ 1997 return was prepared by a paid income tax
return preparer. Included with petitioners’ 1997 return are the
following schedules or forms: (1) Schedule A, Itemized
Deductions; (2) Form 2106-EZ, Unreimbursed Employee Business
