FINDINGS OF FACT.
The taxpayer is an individual residing at White Plains, N. T.
In 1922, and for many years prior thereto, he was employed by William Green, a corporation located at New York City. His salary for 1922 was $10,400, of which he actually drew in cash $4,475, the balance, $5,525, being credited to him on the books of the corporation. The withdrawal by the taxpayer of only a part of his salary was in accordance with a verbal agreement made in January, 1922, with William Green, the principal stockholder, that he would draw only an amount sufficient for his living expenses. The taxpayer owned one share of stock in this corporation of a total of 1,000 shares outstanding.
The balance sheet of the William Green corporation as of December 31, 1922, showed a surplus of $207,021.91. Included in the assets was an item of $435,204.56, representing charges against the Leslie Judge Co., Inc., which that company was unable to pay.

The only record that the taxpayer kept of his receipts and expenditures was a check book. His income-tax returns have been filed on a cash receipts and disbursements basis.
