u. S. Revenue
Act Of 1910
By CHARLES S. LOWRIMORE
DEDUCTIONS
5 S. LOWRIMORE


MANY persons IN preparing the
annual income tax re- ms overlook
some of the deductions allowed by
the internal revenue code. Some
tunes this is due to the very small
amounts expended, but more often
1t is because the taxpayer has not
kept or maintained sufficiently ade-
quate records to determine tn e
amount of the deductions allowed
under the law.
Deductions are a most import
ant item to all individual taxpay-
ers and in this series of articles on
the Federal Income Tax Laws as it
applies to the individual taxpayer
considerable space will be given to
this phase of your income tax re-
turn.
Before entering into a detailed
explanation and listing of allow
able deductions, it is important that
several matters be pointed out, that
you will be prepared to support
any deduction taken upon the re-
turn, in the event your action is
ever challenged by an Internal
Revenue agent.
1t is suggested that important
payments be made by check if pos
slble and that your check show on
the face the purpose of the dis
bursement, Or that you obtain from
the payee a receipt that will clear
ly show the purpose of the pay
ment. It is needless to say that the
cancelled check or the receipted
bill should be carefully filed for
furture reference. Where S m a ! l
items are involved, such as adj
mission taxes, tobacco taxes, liquor
taxes, cosmetic taxes, use taxes,
ct c%etera, which are usually paid
from cash in the pocket, a diary
or daily record should maintained,
which would support the total de-
duction taken upon the income tax
return. Most times contributions
are made by cash, to the church,
Sunday school, American Red
Cross, Salvation Army, ct cetera.
a record of which should be kept
for your w satisfaction and bene-
fit. 3
