INCOME TAX FACTS , .sa..s.
- = !. ! r. + ALL SHOULD KNOW

Thousands of women are required
to file an income tax return and pay
"a tax on their income for the year
1920. No official estimate Of the
number of such women can be given
by the bureau of internal revenue, but
statistics of income for the year 1918,
just issued, show that the number of
returns filed by single women for that
year was approximately zee, 900. The
tax paid by these women amounted to
$3.50, 902, 6OO., st :. :s 3
In addition there were filed approx
mately $4,000 returns by single wom-
en- claiming an exemption of $4,000
as heads Of families, being the sole
support in their households Of orss or
more relatives. Tax collections from
these women amounted to $273,794,-

The number of wives making sep
arate returns from husbands was APP
proximately $4,000 and the amount
Of tax collected from this source was
$s33,218,794. These figures show
that taxes paid by women form an inn
portant item in government revenue.
The exemption allowed single wom-
en-, or a married woman who is not
living with her husband, is $1,000.
The normal tax rate on income in ex-
cess of this exemption is 4 per cent
on the first $4,000 of net income and
8 per cent on the remaining net in
come. In addition there is a surtax
which applies, however, only to net
income in excess Of 5,O00.N ,2>... :.
The term "single women includes
a widow, divorcee, or a person sepa-
rated from her husband by mutual
agreement. A married woman whose
income iSfrom a separate source than
her husbands may file a separate re-
turn. I'd. n. .ra.&' .,y 5f,s.,.YyEs ~
e.. A married woman living with her
husband is not allowed a prescribed
exemption. The exemption allowed
a married couple is $4,000. The 49,
900 may be taken by either husband
or wife or prorated between them.
"A woman who was widowed during
the year 1920, unless the head Of a
family or remarked on or before De-
cember 81, 1920, may claim only an
exemption Of 81 ,OOO.. "A wife support
