DEDUCTIONS FOR AXES
CHARLES S. LOWRIMORE,
C.. p. A..

The internal revenue code, allows
~dlVld to deduct from gross in.
come amounts paid for taxes, in the
year paid if they report on a cash
oasls' and in the year accrued if
the report on an accrual basis.
The general rule is that taxes are
deductible by the person against
whom they are assessed and who Is
responsible to the tax collector for
their payment. If title to property
is in the name of your wife, and
separate returns are filed only the
wife would be permitted the deduc.
ton and vice versa, however if a
Joint return is filed the deduction
is taken on the joint return for the
benefit of both husband and wife.
The following is partial of deduct.
Ole federal taxes, admission taxes
on theatre tickets, dues taxes, cleo
trlcal energy taxes, safety deposit
box taxes, documentary stamp takes,
telegraph, telephone, cable and radio
tax, import and tariff duties. The
following federal taxes are not de.
ductible on your federal returns:
Federal income taxes, estate taxes.
Gift taxes, social security OAB)
taxes, gasoline taxes, excise taxes,
railroad retirement tax and passport
fees.
The following is a partial list of
state and local taxes which are de-
ductibIe in your federal returns, real
and personal property taxes, license
fees (business) state unemployment
taxes, state gasoline taxes, (North
Carolina). .Nate use taxes, state
admission taxes, state liquor taxes,
state cigarette and tobacco taxes,
state cosmetic taxes, state and city
automobile tags, state income taxes.
The following state and local taxes
are not deductible Of your federal
returns, state sales taxes, state in
heritance, gift, succession and legacy
taxes, hunting and fishing licenses.
Street assessments r not taxes and
are not deduc1ible.
Real and personal taxes accrue in
North Carolina on January l, OF
each year therefore if taxes had
been assessed against an owner OF
property and subsequently the pro
perty was sold during the current
year, the purchaser would not be
permitted to deduct the taxes even
though such purchaser pays the
taxes.
