                                       - 16 -                                         
          negligence.                                                                 
               Petitioner filed his 2003 return as head of household and              
          claimed dependency exemption deductions for two minor children,             
          the earned income credit, and the additional child tax credit.              
          As previously discussed, petitioner was entitled to claim a                 
          dependency exemption deduction for only one child, A.O.N., based            
          on the evidence presented to the Court.  Respondent’s other                 
          determinations were sustained.                                              
               With respect to the sustained determinations, petitioner was           
          responsible for complying with the provisions underlying the                
          requirements for the claimed deductions and filing status, and to           
          maintain records adequate to establish his entitlement thereto.             
          Petitioner failed to do this.                                               
               Accordingly, and based on the foregoing,                               
                                             Decision will be entered                 
                                              under Rule 155.
