               Matthew Kumin, Henry G. Wykowski, and Willian G. Panzer, for           
          petitioner.                                                                 
               Margaret A. Martin, for respondent.                                    


               LARO, Judge:  Respondent determined a $355,056 deficiency in

          related penalty under section 6662(a).1  Following concessions by           
          respondent, including a concession that petitioner is not liable

          section 280E precludes petitioner from deducting the ordinary and           
          necessary expenses attributable to its provision of medical
