1Opinion of the Court

Fisher, Judge:

The respondent determined a deficiency in income tax for the taxable year 1953 of Frank and Marie Polk in the amount of $15,599.30. Issues involving medical expenses, taxability of patronage dividends, and the amount of a net operating loss carryback from the year 1955 have been disposed of by stipulation. The only remaining issue presented by the pleadings is whether interest paid on a deficiency in income tax for the year 1948 is deductible as a business expense in the computation of a net operating loss carryover to the year 1953 under section 122 (d) of the Code of 1939.1
