Tax court order finding deficiencies in the payments of income taxes is affirmed where: 1) payments to partnerships were distributions to the plaintiffs personally, and thus were not deductible as ordinary and necessary business expenses under Internal Revenue Code sec. 162 (a); and 2) the amounts of the life insurance premiums paid by the plaintiffs are not included as gross income under Internal Revenue Code section 61 (a).
