                    Dr. Fred D. Cushner           140                                 
                    Dr. Ambrose Pipia             180

                    Dr. Guillermo Davila (dentist)         1,075

                    Total (all expenses)     $3,523                                   

          Thus, petitioner’s medical expenses totaled $3,523; yet, he                 
          claimed $3,853 on his return for 2002.  This discrepancy was not            
          brought up at trial and appears to be a computational error                 
          resulting in a claim for medical expenses of $330 in excess of              
          the numbers presented to the Court.  No explanation was provided            
          at trial with respect to this discrepancy, nor did respondent               
          move to reduce the claimed amount to $3,523.                                
               On or about June 15, 2004, petitioner filed his income tax             
          return for 2003.5  He reported adjusted gross income in the                 
          amount of $18,360.  On the return, petitioner reported wages of             
          $17,725.50 and taxable interest income of $634.74. Petitioner               
          also attached to the return a Form 1099-MISC, Miscellaneous                 



               5 Although the 2003 tax return was filed late, respondent              
          did not determine the sec. 6651(a)(1) addition to tax as to that            
          year, presumably because petitioner’s 1999, 2000, and 2001                  
          returns were under audit at the time the 2003 return was filed,             
          and petitioner attached a note to the return noting that.
