               Respondent determined a $1,604 deficiency in petitioners’              
          2003 Federal income tax.  The issue for decision is whether                 
          petitioners are entitled to a deduction for dependency exemptions           
          for petitioner husband’s son and daughter from a prior marriage.

          The stipulation of facts with attached exhibits, and additional             
          exhibits admitted at trial, are incorporated herein by this
