INCOME TAX FACTS
YOU SHOULD KNOW
PREPARED BY THE BUREAU OF INTERNAL REVENUE

TOHN Doe has owed me $500 for
a. two years. / have given up hope
of payment. Am l allowed to deduct
that amount in making out my income
tax return for 1892"
The answer of the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue to questions such as
these is, eyes, if you have exhausted
every reasonable means for COLLECTION,
and have charged off the debt in 1919
as worthless
To be allowed as a deduction,
debt must be charged off within the
taxable year in which it's worthless
ness was discovered The return must
show evidence of the manner in which
worthlessness was discovered State
ment should be made that the debtor
has been discharged in bankruptcy, or
has disappeared leaving no property,
or that the ordinary methods of col
lection have been exhausted. AS stat
ed by income tax regulations "where
all the surrounding circumstances in
dictate that a debt is worthless and
uncollectible, and that legal action to
enforce payment would in all proba-
bility not result in the satisfaction of
execution on judgment, a showing
of these facts will be sufficient evil
dence of the worthlessness of the debt
for the purposes of deduction"
Payment of an ordinary debt not
charged off as worthless is not income
to the creditor, since it is mere
change in form of capital Whenever,
however, debt deducted as worthless
in some previous year is in a later
year recovered, or partially recovered,
the amount received is taxable income
to the creditor for the year in which
received.
Loans To Relatives.
A frequent claim for deduction is
made for loans to relatives and
friends.
Before debt can be deducted its
character as a true debt must be
proved. Questions such as this reach

assist needy friend or relative, hav-
ing at the time little or no reason

may | claim deduction to cover such
advance?" The answer is mo" Such
an advance is regarded as a gift, and
is not held to be bona-fide debt.
A valid debt which is proved to be
worthless is not always a proper de-
duction. Treasury regulations pro-
vide that worthless debts arising from
unpaid wages, salaries, rentals and
similar items of income will not be
allowed as deduction unless the in
come such items represent has been
included in the creditors return for
the year in which the deduction is
sought, or in a previous.
When Debt is Worthless.
Where the creditor continues to ex-
tend credit to the debtor. debt may
not be claimed as worthless. A debt
may not be charged off and deducted
in part, but must be wholly and en-
tirely worthless before any part may
be deducted, though it may be clearly
worth less than the face amount. If
a debt is forgiven it can not he claim
ed as a deduction, because it is then
regarded as a gift, which is not an al
lowablc deduction.

LEAP YEARS

ITS HISTORY

IT was King Henry the Third of
England who in 1885 took pity
on those of his subjects who had been
born on the 29th of February and
who were held by sticklers for the
law to be therefore entitled to but
one birthday every four years. King
Henry settled the matter for all time
by issuing a proclamation to the eff
feet that February 20 and the day
before it were to be accounted as one
day, 'in order to take away all doubt
and ambiguity which might arise
concerning the extra day in leap
year"
In spite of this proclamation, how
ever, Rossini, the great composer
who was born on February 20, 1892,
called together his friends on Febru-
airy %, 1864, to celebrate what he

Uncle Sam wants to know how

"None of his business" you say?
That's where you're mistaken!
Taxable income for the year 1919
includes amounts gained in gambl-

laws and regulations are none the
less taxable. So it's up to you
