INCOME TAX RETURNS
COMING IN RAPIDLY

Income tax returns are coming in
rapidly from Umatilla county taxpay-
ers. SAYS w. d. Chamberlain. deputy
collector of internal revenue. J. J.
wilkinson arrived today from Port
land to assist Mr.. Chamberlain in re-
ceiving the returns here. They will
go TO the various towns in the county
to assist taxpayers in making out re-
turns.
Statements received at the office
with regard to exemptions show that
unmarried men and women who are
breadwinners for others are granted
special exemptions on their earnings
before figuring the income tax.
The rules say also that although
return must be filed by every unmar-
ried person and every married per-
SON living apart from wife or husband.
who had a net income of $1,000 or
more during 1919, recognition is made
in the law of the home burdens car
ried by succh persons and relief from
excessive taxation IS provided.
Heads of Families Exempted.
In addition to the ordinary personal
exemption of $1,000 an additional ex-
cmption of $1,000 is granted to "heads
vided an exemption of 5000 for each
dependent under IS years of age or
who is mentally or physically defec-
tive.
The 5000 may be claimed by any
taxpayer who is the chief support of
such dependent. This is not confined
to dependents who are members of
the family or relatives. 1t does not
include servants or others who are
earning their living. And it does not
apply to the wife or husband of the
married taxpayer. even though such
persons may have become a total bur
den.
Must Qualify as Head.
The person who claims exemption
rs head of a family must qualify for
it, say the rules. Two single persons
who divide between them, more or
less equally. the financial and other
of household cannot
claim that either one is the head OF
the family. But if single person
actually assumes the total RESPONSE
oilities of the household and is
by having one of his brothers or sisters
support himself and contributing an
amount that could not practically be
more than his board. such
will not be allowed TO
interfere with his clear claim for ex-
emption, say tax officials.
