Washington. Jan 17-(U. P0 - The sharply higher rates effective on this years income taxes are spurring taxpayers to take increas- ed advantage of all possible de- auctions.
 Money paid out in 1892 on state and federal taxes may be deducted from incomes reported on federal returns which must be filed by March 15.
 In previous years many taxpay- CTS did not take advantage of these deductions, internal revenue ofii- cials said to-day. But because of the new rates and sharply decreas- ed earnings, wage earners and pro- fessional classes alike are study ing the deductions closely. An unofficial estimate for one married man who has Q child and an income of $3,000 and owns his home, shows that deductions for federal taxes paid would average about $7S.45, while taxes paid to states would be approximately $163.70.
