HOW TO COMPUTE INCOME TAX

The income tax law of October 8. 1913, places tax of 1 per cent upon all net incomes of over S3,OOO, with an additional tax on incomes of S2O.- 900 or more. The first question aris- ing in the minds of most people is what constitutes net income. For man receiving regular salary, or a business man with a good system of bookkeeping, it is easy to determine whether or not his income is taxable. But for the farmer who receives no stated income, and who often fails to keep accurate account of receipts and expenditures, it is more difficult to calculate his net income.
 In general an income consists of amounts devived from salaries, wages, or compensation for personal service paid in any form; also from profes- sions, business, sales or dealings in property, or from rents, interest on bonds or mortgages dividends on stocks, or other income from invest ments. These items constitute gross income, from which there should be deducted the expenses of carrying on the business; interest paid on indebt- edness; worthless debts charged off ; losses by fire, storm or shipwreck, not covered by insurance; exhaustion, wear and tear of property and any income upon which the income tax has already been deducted at the source, as, for instance, dividends on the stock of corporation which has already paid the tax on it's earnings.
