OPINION.

LeMiee, Judge:

This proceeding involves deficiencies in income tax for the taxable years 1949 and 1950 in the amounts of $530.36 and $1,940.56, respectively.

The sole contested issue is whether the respondent erred in including in petitioners’ income for the years 1949 and 1950 certain amounts withheld by a bank out of sums due on the purchase of notes from petitioners, automobile dealers on an accrual basis, which were held as a dealer’s reserve and credited on the bank’s books to petitioners, pursuant to a written agreement.

All the facts have been stipulated and are found accordingly.…
