Cooper v. Commissioner

1 B.T.A. 615, 1925 BTA LEXIS 2854
United States Board of Tax Appeals·Decided February 26, 1925·No. Docket No. 959.·Published

Opinion

DECISION.

The Board holds that the evidence adduced is not sufficient to prove the taxpayer’s right to deduct the amounts of $755 for entertaining customers; $177 for tips for bell boys and porters, and $135 for telephone and telegraph tolls. The amount of $125 paid for laundry and valet service represents personal expenses and [616] therefore is not a legal deduction from taxable income. The remaining items are proven and are deductible. Final determination will be settled on consent or on ten days’ notice, in accordance with Rule 50.
