INCOME TAX QUESTIONS
Answered by
NICHOLAS J. WATERS

Cues. was married in the last
part of June of last year, How
much income must l have in order
to be obliged to file tax return,
and how much exemption may
take?
Ans-You should file return if
your income is $3.50, or more, as
that is the amount of your exemp-
ton, and although you were mar
ried on the last day Of the year,
the law says that return must be
filed if the net income exceeds the
personal exemption. This exemp-
ton is arrived at by computing the
