Income Tax Problems
Simplified for All

No. 9.
In computing the tax on earned net
income, consideration is given the tax
payer engaged in trade or business in
which both capital and personal serV-
ice are material income producing fac
tors. The revenue act of 1926 pro-
vides in such cases that a reasonable
allowance as Compensation for per-
sonal services" shall be considered as
earned income. Such allowance is not
to exceed 20 per cent of the taxpayer s
share of the net profits of such trade
or business. For example, a taxpayer
received in 1926 from a business in
which both personal services and cap
ital are material income-producing
factors a net profit of 5000 The
Is per cent credit Is computed on 20
per cent of 100000, or $4,000. The
amount payable is the tax on 1000,
less 25 per cent of the tax on $4,000.
The earned income credit is allowed
members of a partnership, such credit
applying to the share of the net in
come belonging to each which consists
of earned income. Where, as in the
case of an individual taxpayer capital
and personal service are both material
income producing factors, the 20 per
cent limitation applies. In such cases
the salaries pdlu partner SnOulu
be added to the distributive shares to
determine the reasonable allowance
for personal services" For example.
the "a" partnership, consisting of two
members, made In 1926 a net income
of 1000. Each partner drew during
the year a salary of $1,000. These
salaries should be added to the net in
come, making a total of $54, 900.
Hence $27, 900 is the distributive share
of each partner. Twenty per cent of
$27, 900 is SIS 400. Each partner, there
fore, is allowed an earned net income
of $5,400, although his salary was
81, 900.
If a partnership business consists
principally in rendering personal serv-
ice, the employment of capital not be-
ing material, but merely incidental,
the earnings of such partnership are
considered due primarily to the ac-
tivities of the owners. In such cases
the 20 per cent limitation does not
apply, and the entire net income up to
$40 900 may be treated as earned in
come when computing the 25 per cent
credit.
