-4- service with a check drawn on the bank account of PWC or AGC. For the subject years, PWC and AGC claimed deductions of $1,288 and $4,800, respectively, for the daycare expense of petitioners’ children. OPINION We decide the single issue mentioned above. In that we find that the facts underlying our decision of that issue are not in dispute, we decide that issue without regard to which party bears the burden of proof. The parties dispute two other issues in addition to the one that we decide. The first other issue concerns the amount of wages that petitioner failed to report for 2001 and 2002. The second other issue concerns whether all of the S corporations’ workers are their employees. We do not decide either of those two other issues in that our decision of those issues is unnecessary to our redetermination of petitioners’ Federal income tax deficiencies for the subject years. As to the first other issue, petitioner is the sole shareholder of the S corporations, and any amount of wages that he failed to report on his 2001 and 2002 Federal income tax returns will be offset entirely by the corresponding increase in the deduction that passes through to him from the S corporations. See Griffin v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1995-246. As to the second other issue, that issue also does not affect our redetermination of petitioners’ deficiencies.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 Next
