The Houston Oilers, formally a superb NFL team, finished the season with only two marks in the win column.

I i i We appreciate your patronage during the past year, and wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. FINANCIAL PLANNING BUSINESS MEALS (No w Optional Doduetlon) Taxpayers who travel away from home on business overnight are entitled to deduct the amount they pay for meals. Previously, the IRS required considerable record keeping and substantiation of such expenses before allowing deductions. Now the IRS has simplified the record keeping. Effective for 1983 and years following, taxpayers can elect to use a "standard" amount for meal deductions in lieu of substantiating the actual cost of meals. The "standard" meal expense deduction is $14 per day for travel that requires a stay of less than 30 days in one general area or $9 per day for travel that requires a stay of 30 days or more in one area. Partial deductions are allowed for the first and final day of the business travel. This deduction is allowed only for meals consumed during trips that "require substantial sleep or rest," that is, for business trips of more than a single day. Taxpayers who are reimbursed by an employer must meet certain other requirements before they can use this optional method. This new method does not eliminate the substantiation re quirements for the actual costs of other travel expenses while away from home on business that the taxpayer is entitled to deduct. Nor does it preclude the taxpayer from deducting and substantiating the actual cost of meals if he prefers. Although the record keeping for meals is simplified, you will need to substantiate the location and business purpose of the travel. The business purpose is often documented by normal paperwork such as letters, sales slips, and telephone calls. The locations and dura tion of your travel je best documented by motel receipts. than likely determine the national champion. In the Cotton Bowl. Georgia will play Texas. Texas has to be a favorite in this game because of the home state advantage. The game will be played in Dallas. The Orange Bowl pictures Nebraska against Miami of Florida. Although Miami will be playing on it's home field, it is doubtful that they will beat the nation's number one ranked team. Just for the record, we asked a few of our local sports fans what their predictions were for the NFL playoff games and who wa* going to be the next Super Bowl champion. Marshall Merritt, Charles Woodard, Walter Edwards, Jr., and Claude Brinn unanimously picked the following teams as winners in this weeks playoff games : The Dolphins, Redskins, 49'ers, and Raiders were picked to proceed on to conference championships. All of our fans also seem to believe that the Washington Redskins will come out of the playoffs as the winner of Super Bowl XVHI. All that can be said by this sport s writer is: I will be betting on the team that wins.
