Income Tax Facts
You ShouldKnow

Thousands of letters passed in cor
respondence last year between the
Bureau of Internal Revenue and
person is entitled to such exemption
$4,000 as head OF a family. Circum-
stances surrounding each individual
case determine largely whether a
person Is titled to such exemption.
The fixing of his status decides. in
many instances, whether his In
come Is taxable or nontaxable. In
either event, IL his net income for
1870 was $1,000 or more IL single
n 81, 200 or more IL married, he
must file a return blank.
A head of a family is defined by
treasury regulations as a "a person
who actually supports and main
tains in one household one or more
individuals who are closely connect
ed with him by blood relationship,
relationship by marriage or by
adoption. or whose right to exercise
family control and provide for these
dependents is based upon some
moral or legal obligation" A mar
ried person living with husband OF
wife, in addition to the $4,000 eY-
emption allowed such persons. can
not claim a $4,000 exemption as the
head of q family. irrespective of the
question of the support of others of
the household.

ing widows, ~widowers. and persons
not living with wife or husband
Is the head Of a family IL he is the
sole support of one or more rela-
tives living in the same house with
him. and II he exercises control of
household affairs. The $1,000 addi-
tional exemption allowed a single
person as the head of q family can
not be divided between two mem
bers OF a household. A division OF
responsibility for control of house,
hold affairs excludes both parties
from the claim. Whether a person
who does not continuously live in
the same house with dependent rel
atives is entitled to the $4,000
exemption depends upon the char
acter of the separation. If a par

Taxation in AN explanatory letter

fact that the railroad law, as re-
