crual method is meant. return pre-
pared on the basis Of income appli-
cable to the period, whether actually
received or not; and expenses appli-
cable to the period whether disburse-
ments where reference thereto have

The law does not prescribe the method
OF bookkeeping which ataxpayer must
employ. It contemplates however, that

How MUCH. DO YOU
OWE UNCLE SAN?
TIME TO FIGURE UP INCOME
TAX. MANY EXEMPTIONS
ARE ALLOWED,
COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL
REVENUE GIVES TIMELY
INFORMATION.

I The time is rapidly approaching
when taxpayers will once again be
called upon to account to the Federal
government for their profits and earnings
during the past year. 81
Daniel G. Roper, commissioner OF
internal revenue, expects all publici-
ty agencies to cooperate with him,
to the end that all taxpayers be af-
forded an opportunity to secure COM
i plete knowledge regarding their duties
and responsibilities under the revenue
act.
Every person is charged with the
knowledge Of the law; ignorance of
the law excuses no one
Married Person Allowed $4,000.
| A married person living with his
wife Tor her husband must render a
return, if his Tor her) net income for 1919
is equal to, or exceeds $4,000. Every
other person must render such a re-
turn, if his Tor herr income is equal to,
or exceeds $1,000.
Net income is, almost synonymous
with net profits. In terms Of the stat
ute, it is the difference between gross
income" and allowable deductions
. Gross income, in general, consists
of salaries, wages, profits and earnings.
Allowable deductions from income
in general, consist of necessary business
expenses and costs.
Later, in our studies, we shall learn
that not all receipts are a rart OF gross
income because certain receipts are
specifically exempted from taxation.
For example, interest from municipal
bonds and certain compensations for
military or naval services are exempt
from taxation
Later on we shall also learn that all
items which would ordinarily be called
expenses are not allowable deductions.
For example, income taxes paid to the
Federal government are. not allowable
as deductions.
= Many Exemptions Allowed.
Certain exemptions are allowed from
net income. Thus, for example, mar
ried man living with his wife is allowed
a so-called specific exemption OF $4,000.
A person who is 'head Of the family
also is allowed the specific deduction
of $4,000. An unmarried person or
married person not living with HUSBAND
or wife, is allowed a specific exemption
of $1,000. A specific exemption Of
5000 is allowed for each dependent
child under 10 years Of age, or for each
dependent person over 18 years Of age
under certain restrictions.
individuals are subject to income
taxes broadly divisable into two classes.
Namely, (a) Normal taxes; lb) sur
taxes.
Normal taxes are calculated as fol-
lows: From the total taxable net in
come there is deducted the specific ex-
emption, which is free of normal tax.
The next $4,000 is subject to normal
tax Of four per cent. The total taxable
net income, less specific exemption and
$4,000, SIS subject to normal tax Of 8
per cent. Thus, for example, a married
person with two children under eighteen
years of age whose taxable net income
is $4,000, is subject to a normal tax of
.$688, ascertained as follows:
$2,4O0 specific exemption at 90

DETERMINE Surtax.


The surtax is determined by menas
of a graded scale, based upon the total
taxable net income in excess of SIS, 600.
Thus, the taxpayer in question, with
"a total taxable net income of So, 900,
WOULD be subject to surtax on the
excess of $4,000 Of such taxable net
income, or on $4,000. The amount Of
surtax is determined by means Of a
table giving the following results:
$4,000 to Sc, 900 - 900 at i pct. SO
