The revenue act of 1921 provides
that an income tax return shall be
filed by every person, married or sing
lie, whose gross income for the year
1922 was $4,000 or more. Broadly
speaking, gross income includes all
income received by the taxpayer dur
ing the year from salary or wages, or
from business, trade, profession, or
vocation" dealing in property, or the
transaction of any business carried on
for profit. Net income, upon which
the tax is assessed, is gross income

In the making of his income tax re-
turn for the year 1922, taxpayer, if
single, is allowed an exemption of
$1,000. A married person, or head of
a family, whose net income for the
year 1922 was $4,000 or less is allow
ed an exemption of $4,000 The eX-
emption allowed a married person Or
head of a family whose net income
was in excess of $4,000 is $4,000. A
head of family is a person who act
ually supports one or more persons
living in his or her household who are
closely related to him or her by blood,
marriage or adoption.
An additional credit of $500 is al
lowed for each person (other than
husband or wife, dependent upon the
taxpayer for chief support, if such
person is under Is years of age or in
capable of self support because men
tally defective. A single man whose
net income for 1922 was $4,000 and
who supports in his home an aged
mother would have no tax to pay,
but would nevertheless be required to
file a return. The fact that a per-
sons income may be nontaxable by
reason of the exemption does not null
lily the requirement to file a return
if his income was within the prescrib-
ed fgures-$1 900 if single and $4,000
if married.
The normal tax is A per cent on the
first $4,000 of net income in excess OF
the exemptions, and 8 per cent on the
remaining net income. The tax may
be paid in full at the time of filing
the return, or in four installments due
on or before March 10, June 10, Sep
TENDER 10, and December Is.
