                                        - 2 -                                         
               Respondent determined a deficiency of $2,596 in Federal                
          individual income tax against petitioners for 2003.                         
               After concessions by petitioners,2 the issues for decision3            
          are:                                                                        
                    (1) Whether petitioners are entitled to any                       
               depreciation deductions claimed on Schedule C, Profit                  
               or Loss From Business, and if so, then in what amount;                 
               and                                                                    
                    (2) whether petitioners are entitled to any                       
               vehicle insurance deduction in excess of their claimed                 
               (and allowed) standard mileage rates in connection with                
               the Schedule C activity and, if so, then in what                       
               amount.                                                                
                                     Background                                       
               The stipulation and the stipulated exhibits are incorporated           
          herein by this reference.                                                   




               2 Petitioners concede that:  (1) Their Schedule C gross                
          income was $2,888, as determined in the notice of deficiency, and           
          not $831, as stated on their tax return, and (2) they are                   
          entitled to an itemized deduction of $11,055 for home mortgage              
          interest and points, as determined in the notice of deficiency,             
          and not $15,288, as stated on their tax return.                             
               3 The other adjustments (relating to the 2-percent floor on            
          certain itemized deductions, and a claimed credit for certain               
          retirement savings contributions) are computational only; their             
          resolutions depend on our determinations as to the issues for               
          decision.
