Appeal of A. O. JOHNSON.
    Docket No. 1826.
    Decided September 15, 1926.
    
      Lloyd M. Robbins, Esq., for the petitioner.
    
      A. Calder Mackay, Esq., for the Commissioner.
    This is an appeal from the determination of deficiencies in the total amount of $7,672.07 for the calendar years 1921 and 1922.
    
      FINDINGS OF FACT.
    During the calendar years 1921 and 1922, the petitioner was a resident and citizen of California, married and living with his wife. At the time required by law, the petitioner and his wife filed separate returns for the years involved, each reporting one-half of the income of the marital community for said years. The Commissioner held that the entire income belonged to the husband and increased the income as shown by his returns by the amounts reported by his wife, and computed the deficiency of $7,672.07.
   OPINION.
