               After petitioner’s concession,1 the issues for decision are            
          whether petitioner may deduct for 2001 (1) $1,916 that she paid             
          to a French retirement plan, and (2) real estate taxes.  We hold            
          that she may not.                                                           
               Unless otherwise stated, section references are to the                 
          Internal Revenue Code as amended and in effect in the year in               
          issue, and Rule references are to the Tax Court Rules of Practice           
          and Procedure.                                                              
                                  FINDINGS OF FACT                                    
               Some of the facts have been stipulated and are so found.               
               Petitioner resided in Seattle, Washington, when the petition           
          was filed.  In 2001, petitioner was a citizen of France and a               
          resident of the United States for tax purposes.                             
               In 2001, petitioner was a professor at the University of               
          Washington, Central Washington University, and Evergreen State              
          College.  In 2001, Central Washington University contributed                
          $4,653.22 on petitioner’s behalf to a retirement plan in the                
          United States, and petitioner paid the equivalent of $1,916 to a            
          pension plan in France (French pension plan).                               
               Petitioner filed a Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax               
          Return, for 2001, reported that she was married filing                      

               1  Petitioner concedes that she failed to report $3,396 of             
          income from Evergreen State College on her Form 1040 for 2001 as            
          determined by respondent.
