                                       - 13 -                                         
          (Nov. 6, 1985).  Listed property includes passenger automobiles.            
          Sec. 280F(d)(4)(A)(i).                                                      
               Petitioner testified that some of the expenses in issue                
          related to travel, meals, and lodging.  Petitioner presented some           
          credit card receipts and other miscellaneous and disorganized               
          records in an attempt to substantiate the Schedule C deductions             
          in issue.  Petitioner failed to establish that the claimed rental           
          and interest expenses were ordinary and necessary business                  
          expenses paid or incurred during 2001 in carrying on a trade or             
          business.  With respect to travel expenses, petitioner did not              
          satisfy the substantiation provisions of section 274(d).                    
          Respondent’s determination is sustained in this regard.                     
               Reviewed and adopted as the report of the Small Tax Case               
          Division.                                                                   
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              

                                             Decision will be entered for             
                                        respondent.
