confusion exists concerning deductions. the
following obtained from the Bureau Of the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, may
settle the difficulty:
THE amount paid out for insurance
and for usual and ordinary repairs upon
buildings and lands, not exceeding the
average paid for repairs for the preceding
five years. may be deducted from ones
income in making his return. This rule
is applicable not only to property renters
but to property occupied by the TAX pay
err: for instance, if the total repairs for
Ave wears have been $500. the deduction
for this year cannot exceed 800, although
the expenditure may be greater. Perma-
nent improvements or bettermentS' made
to increase the value of the property, can
not be deducted"
