SPECIAL E[;XEMP TIONS
FOR FAMILY HEADS
Unmarried Persons Who Actually Sup
port and Provide For Dependents
Are Considered.

Single persons, though required to
file a return if their net income for
1920 was 81 1000 or more, are if they are
the heads Of families, granted special
exemption under the revenue laws.
Such a person is defined by Treasury
regula tons as "a person who actually
supports and maintains in one house
hold one or more individuals who are
closely connected with him by blood re-
lationship, relationship by marriage or
by adoption, and whose right to exer-
else family control and provide for
these dependent individuals is based up
on some moral or legal Obligation
Such persons are allowed the exemption
of $1,000 granted a married person. In
addition, they are allowed credit of
5000 for each dependent under Is years
Of age or incapable of self-support be-
cause mentally or physically defective.
Husband and Wife.
! a married person living with hus-
band and wife can not claim an addi-
tional $1,000 exemption as the head of
a. family. His or her exemption is
based upon the marital status, ire
spective of the support of others living
In the same household. The additional
5000 credit for dependents does not ap-
ply to the husband or wife Of a tax
payer. For example, if a married man
supports a father who is incapable Of
self-support he is entitled to the 5000
credit for such person. IT through
force of circumstances hefsupports his
wife away from home he is entitled to
the $500 exemption allowed a mar
ried person, but not to a 5000 credit
for dependent.
A son who has left home but who
sends his mother more than one-half
the sum required for her support is en-
titled to the 5000 credit, provided the
mother can not support herself. Other
wise, the amount must be considered
as a gift, and, therefore, the credit is
not allowed. A son living at home and
supporting his father, mother, or other
reative may claim the $4,000 exemp-
ton allowed the head of family, but
not the 5000 credit unless such rela-
tive is under Is year Of age or incapa-
Bile Of self-support.
