Changes In Income
Tax Law
Will Touch Many For First
Time This Year

Thousands of Maryianders who
never before paid Federal income
tax will have to dig down into theil
pockets between now and March
Is for the benefit of the United
States Treasury, the Bureau Of In
ternal Revenue warns.
And almost all Of the moro thar
100000 persons who paid Federal
income tax in Maryland last yea,
will find that the new schedules will
cost them more money.
According to M. Hampton Magru'
der; collector of internal revenue fol
Maryland, the following are the
principal changes effective in the
tax on 1910 incomes:
The requirement to file a Federal
income tax return will be based
solely on gross income.
Every single person with q gross
income of $500 or more, and every
married couple with gross income
of $4,000 or more, will be required
to file return, whether or not their
net income justif1es tax.
The personal exemptions which
NAV he claimed against net income
are reduced to $500 in the case OF
single nersons and $4,000 in the case
of married couples, or heads OF fam
lilies.
Taxpayers with a surtax net in
come met income less personal ex-
emption and credit for dependents)
of more than $4,000 will pay sur
taxes at a higher rate.
Every taxpayer, after his income
tax has been computed, will pay an
additional ten per cent of it as de
tense taxi ~
The most important change in the
income-tax provisions. bureau off,
cials insist. is that regarding the OBJ
LEGATION to file a return:
Basing that obligation on gross in
come will mean that every regularly
employed single person making SIS
a week or more; In fact, everyone
whose total income amounted last
