*408 Before GRAUPNER, TRAMMELL, and PHILLIPS.

This is an appeal from the determination of a deficiency in income tax in the amount of $454.91 for the calendar year 1921. Of this amount the taxpayer concedes an error of $1 made in the computation of surtax, leaving in issue $453.91, which arises from the addition by the Commissioner of $4,200 to 1921 income, which amount the taxpayer contends was received in 1922.

FINDINGS OF FACT.

William D. Held, deceased, was employed in 1921 by the firm of Egbert & Case, of New York, N.Y., at a salary of $10,000.

The balance, $4,200, was collected after his death by his widow and executrix, the taxpayer here, who received letters testamentary from the Surrogate of Essex County, N.J., on January 6, 1922. Decedent made his returns upon a cash receipts and disbursement basis. The Commissioner has added such sum of $4,200 to the 1921 income of the decedent.
