Items To BE Included

Every taxpayer is required TO in
clude in his return or gross income
the following items:
Interest received on notes and de-
posits in tanks. including savings
hanks
Cash dividend on stock. The Su-
preme Court decided in March. 1920,
that stock dividends are not taxable.
Profits from the sale of such stock
however, are taxable income for the
year in which received. Only diyi-
dends paid out of earnings or profits
accrued since March l. 1913, are taxed
Profits received from the sale Of
property. real. personal. or mixed.
The basis for ascertaining gain de-
rived from the sale or disposition Of
such property acquired after March l.,
1913. is cost. The basis for ascer-
tanning the gain derived from the sale
or other disposition of such prop
erty acquired before March l. 1913. is
likewise cost, Int -
If its fair market price or value
as of March /. 1913. was in excess Of
cost. the gain is the excess of the
amount realized over such fair mar
ket price or value. For example. A
purchased a house in 1910 for $4,000;
its fair market value on March /, 1913,
was $4,000 and he sold in 1921 for
$4,000. The amount TO be reported
as gross income is the difference be-
tween 100000 and $4,000. or $4,000.
If the amount realized therefor is
more than cost but not more than its
fair market value as of March /, 1913,
no gain shall lie included in gross in
come. For instance, if A, in the above
example, had sold in 1921 for $4,000,
no taxable gain would have resulted.
If the amount realized therefor is
less thal cost but more than March
1, 1913. value. there is no gain For
example, if \ purchased house il
1910 for $4,000 and its fair market
value as of March /, 1913, was $4,000
and he sold in 1921 for 5000. no gain
