                                       - 27 -                                         
          depreciation expense deducted on Schedule C.  Petitioner also               
          failed to provide substantiation that she was entitled to claim a           
          dependency exemption for Melissa.   Therefore, we sustain the               
          negligence penalty with respect to the underpayment attributable            
          to respondent’s denial of those deductions.  See Higbee v.                  
          Commissioner, 116 T.C. at 449; see also Perrah v. Commissioner,             
          T.C. Memo. 2002-283.                                                        

                                                  Decision will be entered            
                                             under Rule 155.
