-16- Petitioner’s tax home for the years at issue was Alexandria, Virginia. The car and truck expenses and any claimed depreciation for using his car were petitioner’s personal expenses for driving between his residence in Lancaster and his work in Alexandria. The travel expenses and utilities were for his lodging when he stayed in Alexandria, and the meals and entertainment expenses were his costs of meals and entertainment incurred when he stayed in Alexandria. Petitioner did not incur the disallowed expenses while away from his tax home in the course of his trade or business. We hold that petitioners are not entitled to deduct the disputed items. To reflect the foregoing and the parties’ concessions, Decision will be entered under Rule 155.Page: Previous 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17Last modified: March 27, 2008
