               (1) The individual’s principal place of abode was in the               
          United States for more than one-half of the taxable year;                   
               (2) the individual had attained age 25 and not attained age            
          65 on or before the close of the taxable year; and                          
               (3) the individual was not a dependent for whom a deduction            
          is allowable under section 151 to another taxpayer for the                  
          taxable year at issue.                                                      
               Petitioner is not an eligible individual because his income            
          exceeded the completed phaseout amount prescribed by section                
          32(b) of $11,230 (with no qualifying children).  See Rev. Proc.             
          2002-70, sec. 3.06, 2002-2 C.B. 845, 847-848.  Respondent                   
          therefore is sustained on this issue.                                       
               Reviewed and adopted as the report of the Small Tax Case               
          Division.                                                                   


          Decision will be entered                                                    
          under Rule 155.
