For 1996, respondent determined a $24,587 deficiency and a $4,917 accuracy-related penalty. After concessions,2 there are three issues for decision. The first issue is whether petitioners substantiated various business expenses they claimed in each of the years at issue. We hold that petitioners did not substantiate any of these expenses. The second issue is whether petitioners failed to report $3,424 of rental income in 1996. We hold that they did. The third issue is whether petitioners are liable for the accuracy-related penalty for each of the years at issue. We hold that they are.
