          conceded that $2,266.55 was deductible, and the nature of the               
          expenses indicates that they were not entertainment expenses.               
          During trial, petitioner conceded that some of the items were not           

               20Petitioner “conceded” several of the smaller expense                 
          items; i.e., she did not offer any additional evidence regarding            
          them, because she was interested in getting to the “large items”.           
          She did not concede that the items were not deductible, however,            
          and she did document the date and amount of the expense and the             
          identity of the payee as reflected on Exhibits 38-R through 41-R.
