          The decision to be entered is not reviewable by any other Court,            
          and this opinion should not be cited as authority.                          
               Respondent determined a deficiency of $4,359 in petitioner’s           
          Federal income tax for the year 2003.                                       
               After a concession by petitioner, noted hereafter, the                 
          issues for decision are whether, for the year 2003, petitioner is           
          entitled to (1) a dependency exemption deduction for his son                
          under section 151(c); (2) head-of-household filing status under             
          section 2(b)(1); and (3) the earned income credit under section             
          32(a).                                                                      
               Some of the facts were stipulated.  Those facts, with the              
          exhibits annexed thereto, are so found and are made part hereof.            
          Petitioner’s legal residence at the time the petition was filed             
          was Dunedin, Florida.

          reported wage income of $16,756.  Petitioner was employed part

          old and 19 years old, respectively, in 2003.  The two mothers of            
          the children provided no support to them during the year at                 
          issue.  Petitioner was not married during 2003.                             
               During the year at issue, the son earned $13,357, and the
