THE INCOME TAX
PUZZLE SOLVED

Earnings and Two Deepen

WHICH is DECREASE OF
$50 FROM LAST YEAR
$2,5O0 Exemption for Head of
Family-$400 For Each

less Person

The enactment of the Revenue act
has caused much confusion concern
ing the workings of the income tax
under the new law, particularly with
questions of exemptions and deduc-
tions under the Revenue act of 1921
compared with the act of 1918.
Probably the most important
charge anecting the man Of moderate
means is in the exemptions. Under
the 1921 act a married man with a
net income Of $4,000 and less is en-
titled to an exemption of $500. I'm
der the Revenue act of 1918 this ex-
emption was limited to $4,000. The
Revenue act of 1921 also provides for
each person dependent upon the tax
payer-if such person is under 18
years of age or incapable of self
support because mentally or physic-
ally defective-an exemption Of $500.
The exemption under the Revenue
act of 1918 was 5000 for each such
dependent. Thus, a married man
with two dependents whose net in
come for 1921 was $4,000 will pay this
year a tax Of $68, compared with
s104 on the same income for 1920.

dependent is based upon some moral
or legal obligation.
The normal rate of tax-4 per cent.
on the first $4,000 of net income
above the exemptions and 8 per cent.
on the remaining net income re-
mains unchanged. This applies to
citizens and residents of the United
States. Alien non-residents are taxed
to the full 8 per cent. on the income
received from sources within the
United States. Nonresident aliens
are allowed only a single personal ex-
emption of $1,000. To overcome the
disparity in the amount Of normal
tax in the of two taxpayers, one
of whom is just within the lower
$4,000 exemption, the other being Just
within the higher $4,000 exemption,
the act provides that the reduction of
the personal exemption from $2,500 to
$4,000 shall not operate to increase
the tax which would be payable if
the exemption were $500 by more
than the net income in excess of
$4,000. For example, a married man
or head of family has net income
for 1921 Of 5000. Assuming that
he has no dependents, his tax, if he
were allowed only the $4,000 exemp-
tion, would be $120.4O. Under the
benefits of the above provision, how
ever, his tax is $110, A per cent on
the amouri5 of his taxable income of
$4,000, or $100 plus the amount by
which his net income exceeds $4,000.
Concerning the surtax rates, tax
payers in the preparation OF their
returns should be careful to note that
i; the surtax rates for the calendar
year 1921 remain unchanged. The
surtax rate on incomes for 1921 range
from per cent. on the amoul;s OF
net income between $4,000 and $4,000
to 65 per cent. on the amount OF net
income in excess Of $1,000,000. For
the calendar year 1922 and each cal
endar year thereafter the surtax
ranges from l per cent. on the
amount Of ret income between $4,000
and $4,000 to SO per cent. by which
the amount OF net income exceeds
$4,000 or more.
Returns are required of every sin
gle person whose net income for 1921
was 81 1000 or over, every married per-
son not living with husband or wife
whose net income was $1,000, and
every married person livirik with hus-
band or wife whose net income was
$4,000 or over. Every person whose
gross income for the year was $4,000
or over must make a return regard
less of the amount Of net income.
This requirement was not contained
in the Revenue act Of 1918. Every
married couple living tpeether must
make a return, either separate or
joint as desired, if their aggregate
met income was $4,000 or over, or if
their aggregate gross income was
$500 or more.
Gross income includes practically
every dollar the taxpayer received
during the year 1921. Net income is
gross income less the exemptions and
deductions specifically provided for by
the act.
