INCOME TAX FACTS
YOU SHOULD KNOW

Numerous errors in claims for de-
auctions have been discovered IN tax
payers returns.
To be allowed, deductions for los
ses must be confined to the following
classes: Losses sustained in trade or
business; losses sustained in trans
actions entered into fo%rlprofit, though
not connected with a trade or bust
ness; losses sustained of property not
connected with trade or business If
arising from fires, shipwreck, storms,
or other casualty, or from theft. To
the extent any Of the above losses are
compensated for by insurance they
are not deductible.
To be allowed as a deduction in
the return for 1920 a loss must have
been actually sustained during that
year. A taxpayer may feel certain
that real estate owned by him is
worth less than what he paid for it.
A merchant may be convinced that
CCItdll StOCh CdH HOL NC oolO uulCoS
marked below cost. In neither event,
however, is he entitled to a claim for
deduction until the loss is made abso-
lutte by sale or other disposition of
the property.
Claims for losses must conform
closely to the wording of the statute.
A loss sustained in the sale of an
automobile purchased for personal
use is not deductible, because it is
not a transaction "entered into for.
profit" A loss sustained by a tax
payer in the sale of his home is not
deductible for the reason that ordin-
arily when a man buys a residence
and moves into it he has no intention
of selling and has not "entered into
a transaction for profit"
