Jordan v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Jordan v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Opinion of the Court
Before us are appeals by Glen A. and Virginia D. Jordan in their individual capacity and Insurance Sales & Management Company, a corporation, from judgment of the United States Tax Court disallowing the Jordans certain alleged business expense deductions incurred in 1965 and 1966 and attributing certain income and deductions to Glen A.

The judgment is affirmed on all taxpayers’ appeals.
The Commissioner has taken a protective cross appeal to be considered in event the judgment of the Tax Court is reversed. Since the judgment of the Tax Court has been affirmed on the appeals of all taxpayers, the Commissioner’s cross appeal is dismissed.
. Virginia D. Jordan is a plaintiff here by reason of the joint tax return she filed with her husband for the taxable years in question.
. 26 U.S.C. § 482 allows the Commissioner to allocate income and deductions among taxpayers tq reflect actual income distribution among wholly owned businesses.
