$2,225 for mileage, $500 for tax preparation fees, $404 for
postage, $1,845 in supplies, and $462 for a cellular telephone.
This draft was petitioner’s position at trial.
By notice of deficiency, respondent disallowed $8,367 of
petitioner’s claimed Schedule C expenses and determined an
additional $400 of unreported income. The $833 in expenses
allowed by respondent included $293 for transportation expenses
(mileage from first job to second job), $75 for postage, $390 for
supplies (including depreciation on a computer), and $75 for a
cellular telephone. At trial the parties stipulated orally that
the entire cost of the computer purchased in February 1999 was
$2,349 and that this amount properly was deductible as
petitioner’s business expense in 1999 pursuant to section 179.
Petitioner conceded the previously claimed deductions for
“supplies” other than the amount stipulated as the cost of the
computer and deducted pursuant to section 179.

$4,400. Petitioner reported gross income of $900 less deductions
