          the wages she was paid by the City of New York and the wages she            
          reported on her return.  Respondent also allowed a $1,000 child             
          tax credit, although no such credit was claimed on petitioner’s             
          return.  The income tax liability shown in the notice of                    
          deficiency is $646.  When added to the computational reduction in           
          the earned income credit ($2,380) that results from the increase            
          in petitioner’s income, the deficiency amounts to $3,026.                   
               In April 2001, petitioner submitted an amended return to               
          respondent.  The amended return was not processed by respondent             
          and none of the items reported on the amended return are taken              
          into account in the notice of deficiency.  The amended return               
          includes a Schedule A, Itemized Deductions, on which the                    
          following deductions are claimed:  (1) $1,111 for State and local           
          income taxes, (2) $10,800 for home mortgage interest; and (3)               
          $4,355 for gifts to charity.  The amended return also includes a            
          Schedule C, Profit or Loss From Business, on which gross income             
          of $11,038 is reported, and the following expenses are deducted:            
          (1) $1,284 for advertising; (2) $1,450 for commissions and fees;            
          (3) $2,250 for rent; (4) $5,400 for repairs and maintenance; (6)            
          $3,652 for supplies; (7) $3,254 for utilities; and (8) $7,366 for           
          “other expenses”.  When offset against the gross income reported            
          on the Schedule C, the foregoing deductions result in the $13,738           
          net loss shown on that schedule.
