                                       - 29 -                                         
         Tan Credit Union under the name of National Land Bank LLC                    
         (Account No. 8198), respondent effectively connected the deposits            
         from taxable sources to National Land Bank’s account.  Petitioner            
         introduced no evidence to refute this adjustment.                            
              Respondent’s bank deposit method is an acceptable means to              
         determine the amount of income received by National Land Bank in             
         2000.  Moreover, Speck in 2000 is treated as a disregarded entity            
         for Federal tax purposes; therefore, all the income earned by                
         National Land Bank ($35,200), including Speck’s share, is                    
         attributed to petitioner.                                                    
              F.   Nature’s Herb & Tea Garden Income                                  
              Petitioner refused to confirm or deny that she maintained               
         the business, Nature’s Herb & Tea Garden.  Respondent provided               
         bank records showing checks payable to Nature’s Herb & Tea Garden            
         deposited into an account at Norwest Bank Arizona, N.A. in the               
         name of “Sue Taylor d|b|a Natures Herb & Tea Garden”.  The                   
         uncontroverted evidence of bank deposits being made to the                   
         account controlled by petitioner is sufficient to link petitioner            
         to the income from Nature’s Herb & Tea Garden.  Because                      
         petitioner offered no evidence regarding her association with                
         Nature’s Herb & Tea Garden, she has failed to rebut the
