Your Federal Income Tax
No. 1
Gross Income Determines
Liability

There are two arresting facts in
the 1910 income tax law. First,
the basis for determining liability
for a return has been changed
from net income to gross income.
Second, the exemptions have been
lowered from $1,000 to $500 for a
single person, and from $1,000 to
$4,000 for a married person or
head of a family.
Every citizen or resident of the
United States must file an income
tax return, if single, or not living
with husband or wife, and his or
her gross income is $500; or if
married, and his or her gross in
come is $4,000; or if their aggre-
gate gross income equals or ex-
ceeds $4,000. It matters net what
the net income of such persons
may be, or if the return, by reason
Of allowable deductions, the per-
sonal exemption, or credit for de-
pendents is nontaxable, the gross
income of all such persons must be
reported to the Government.

parted this life four years ago,

Her patient face to see;
To hear her voice, to see her

Beyond the toll and strife,
And clasp each others hand once
more
In heaven, that happy life.
