Your Income Tax

DEDUCTION FOR BAD DEBTS

DEDUCTION FOR BAD DEBTS
Bad debts constitute a consider
able item in the returns OF many
taxpayers and may be treated In one
Of two ways-either by deduction
from gross income in respect to
debts ascertained TO be worthless
either In whole or in part, or by a
deduction Of a reasonable addition
to reserve for bad debts. Taxpay-
ers we're given an option for 1921
TO select either of the two methods.
The method used in the return for
1921 must be used in returns for
subsequent years unless permission
Is granted by the Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue to change to the
other method. Application to change
must be made at least 30 days prior
TO the close Of the taxable year for
which the change Is TO be effective.
However, taxpayer filing first
return In 1896, may select either Of
the two methods, subject to the APP
protal OF the commissioner upon ex-
animation of the return. Permission
to adopt the reserve method is linz
tied to taxpayers having large
number OF accounts where credits is
extended over considerable period
Of time. 1t Is not granted for the
purpose Of handling one specific
debt.
What constitutes a reasonable
addition" TO a reserve for bad debts
must be determined In the light OF
the facts, and will vary as between
classes Of business and with condi
tons OF business prosperity. 1t will
depend primarily upon the total
amount OF debts outstanding as Of
the close of the taxable year. those
arising currently as well as those
arising currently as well as those
arising in prior taxable years, and
the total amount Of the existing re-
serve. In case subsequent realiza-
tons upon outstanding debts prove
10 be more or less than estimated at
at the time Of the creation Of the
existing reserve, the amount Of the
excess or inadequacy In the existing
reserve should be reflected In the
determination Of the reasonable adj
dition necessary In the taxable year.
A taxpayer using the reserve meth
cd should show In his return the
volume Of charge sales Cor other
business transactions) for the year,
and the percentage Of the reserve TO

I held the South cards and thought that we had halved the match, as the play seemed very simple, but later when the scores came out, I found that no other player with my cards had made @ slam.
 The club and diamonds bids were ace showing, but when my partner raised my clubs to five, of course, I then bid a slam.
 I ruffed the second round of hearts, then led 8 club to dummy and ruffed another heart. I reenter- ed dummy with the diamond ace and ruffed dummys last heart with the ace of spades.
 Then the queen of trumps was overtaken with the king and on the third round of trumps from dunn my I discarded my losing diamond. Seemingly others had missed the play which have often found diffi- cult, and that Is making the dummy the master hand.
