The defense was that the
taxpayer had on hand at the
end of 1941 the sum of $42. 500
for which he was not given
credit. The explanation for the
cash hoard was this:
The taxpayers father had
escaped from prison in this
country and had fled to Canada
where he started a new career
and prospered. The son was
four years old at the time of the
escape. Later the father visited
the son and gave him money.
Thereafter the son visited the
father in Canada on several
occasions. The father gave the
son a total of S48,500.

given by various persons in
GLIDING the taxpayers wife, a
sheriff who investigated a bur-
glary when an unsuccessful
attempt was made to open the
safe where the money was kept,
a banker and an insurance
company official.
Held-"The cash hoard story
is a favorite defense in net
worth cases but it is seldom that
such a story is supported by
credible corroborating evidence

teachers appealed to the Tax
Court when the Internal Reve-
nue. Commissioner disallowed
deductions from gross income
the amounts spent attending

The wife's attendance was to
obtain renewal of her teachers
certificate. The commissioner
allowed as a deduction $152
spent for travel and lodging. He
disallowed $l56 spent for tu-
ition and books.
Held-The S156 could be al
lowed as trade or business ex-
pense only IF such trade or
business does not consist of the
performance of service by the
taxpayer as an employee" The
court held she is an employee.
The husband went to sum-
mer school in order to obtain a
promotion. He spent $2l4 and
was reimbursed 500. He took
the rest as a deduction.
