          VI. Schedule E Rental Expenses for 1994.                                    
               Petitioner documented taxes of $2,526 on the New Jersey                
          house, which respondent allowed as a rental expense deduction on            
          Schedule E.  Respondent determined that $13,997 of expenses for             
          depreciation, repairs, and other expenses disallowed for 1994 as            
          deductions on property management Schedule C were deductible in             
          1994 on Schedule E as expenses related to the rental of the New             
          Jersey house.  Aside from his claim that these items were trade             
          or business expenses deductible on Schedules C for the business             
          dealing in real estate, petitioner does not challenge these                 
          adjustments.  We have found that petitioner and Mrs. Wood are not           
          dealers in real estate, and, therefore, we sustain respondent on            
          this issue.                                                                 
          VII. Self-Employment Tax and Net Operating Loss Carryovers                  
               Respondent determined that petitioner was liable for self-             
          employment tax of $5,902 in 1994, $3,102 in 1995, and $3,626 in             
          1996 on the net profit from his consulting business and allowed             
          petitioner a deduction for half of those taxes ($2,951 in 1994,             
          $1,551 in 1995, and $1,813 in 1996).                                        
               Respondent also allowed petitioner a net operating loss                
          carryover of $18,520 to 1994 from the examination of earlier                
          years but, on the basis of the adjustments made to 1995,                    
          disallowed the net operating loss carryover of $36,389 petitioner           
          claimed on the 1996 return.
