          charges, for which he paid Mr. Christie $5,500.  On July 23,                
          1999, petitioner entered into a plea agreement in which he                  
          pleaded guilty to the criminal charges.                                     
               Petitioner timely filed Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income              
          Tax Return, for his taxable year 1999 (petitioner’s 1999 return).           
          Petitioner did not include the $1,600 McKendree driving allowance           
          in total income in his 1999 return.                                         
               Petitioner included Schedule A-Itemized Deductions (1999               
          Schedule A) as part of his 1999 return.  In that schedule,                  
          petitioner claimed, inter alia, $12,617 of “Job Expenses and Most           
          Other Miscellaneous Deductions” (job expenses) prior to the                 
          application of the two-percent floor imposed by section 67(a).              
          Of that total, petitioner claimed $12,157 as “Unreimbursed                  
          employee expenses”.  With respect to those claimed unreimbursed             
          employee expenses, petitioner, as required, completed Form 2106,            
          Employee Business Expenses (1999 Form 2106), and included that              
          form as part of his 1999 return.  In the 1999 Form 2106, peti-              
          tioner claimed the following unreimbursed employee expenses:
