Your Income Tax
Who Is the Head Of a Family.

A taxpayer, though single, who sup
ports and maintains in one household
one or more individuals who are
closely connected with him by blood
relationship, relationship by marriage
or by adoption and whose right to ex-
ercise family control and provide for
these dependent individuals is based
upon some moral or legal obligation Is
the head of a family and entitled to
the same exemption allowed a married
person-S2,500. Also he may claim a
s4OO credit for each dependent. For
example, a widower who supports in
one household an aged mother and
daughter II years old is entitled to
an exemption of S2,500 as the head Of
family. plus credit of s400 for each
dependent. a total of $500. The $400
credit, however, does not apply to the
wife or husband of a taxpayer. though
one may be totally dependent upon
the other.
Several factors are involved in de-
termining whether person who files
a return as the head Of family is to
be thus classified. The element Of
either legal or financial dependency
must exist. A taxpayer who supports
in his. home minor children over whom
he exercises family control is classified
as the head of a family, even though
the children may have an income OF
their own suficient for their main.
tenance. If he does not support them,
by reason of their own income. but
does exercise family control, he cannot
be classified as the head Of family.
II an individual supported Is an
adult and there rests upon the tax
sayer a moral or legal obligation TO
provide a home and care for such in
dividual, the exemption as the head OF
a family Is allowed, provided the in
dividual is financially dependent. II
the individual Is not financially de-
pendent. the exemption. even though
the taxpayer maintains the common
home and furnishes the chief support,
does not apply.
For income tax purposes these can
be only one head Of family, and the
exemption cannot be divided. Not in
frequently claims for the s2.500 ex-
emption are received from two or more
members of a family.
1t should be remembered that sin
