MEMORANDUM**
Peter T. Storaasli appeals pro se from the Tax Court’s decision, entered after trial, in his action contesting deficiencies associated with the sale of real property in tax years 1996 and 1999. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 26 U.S.C. § 7482. We review a Tax Court’s findings of fact for clear error and its legal conclusions de novo. Charlotte’s Office Boutique, Inc. v. Comm’r, 425 F.3d 1203, 1211 (9th Cir. 2005). We affirm.
We uphold the Tax Court’s determination of Storaasli’s tax liabilities related to capital gains Storaasli realized from the sale of real property because he did not demonstrate that he is entitled to offset those gains. See 26 U.S.C. § 61(a)(3) (defining gross income as “all income from whatever source derived” including “[gjains derived from dealings in property”); 26 U.S.C. § 1001 (permitting the gain from the sale of property to be reduced by certain expenses associated therewith); see also Welch v. Helvering, 290 U.S. 111, 115, 54 S.Ct. 8, 78 L.Ed. 212 (1933) (holding that taxpayer has the burden of proving any adjustments).
Storaasli’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.
We deny the Commissioner’s motion for sanctions.
AFFIRMED.
