                                  FINDINGS OF FACT                                    
              Some of the facts have been stipulated and are so found.                
         Petitioner resided in Miami, Florida, when she filed her                     
         petition.                                                                    
              During 2003, petitioner worked as a seamstress for Mimi                 
         Enterprises, Inc. (Mimi’s), a retail bridal gown shop.  Mimi’s

         to petitioner.  Petitioner also received unemployment                        
         compensation in the amount of $208 from the Florida Agency for               
         Workforce Innovation (FAWI) in 2003.                                         
              Petitioner did not file a Federal income tax return for                 
         2003, and petitioner’s only payment toward her income tax                    
         liability was the $21 that FAWI withheld from her unemployment
