Your Federal Income Tax

AS much confusion is caused by
the learned income credit" as by
any other one thing on the income
tax blank. The idea, of course, is
to make a distinction between
money you actually earn by per-
sonal services and money that
comes in as interest, dividends,
etc. A higher proportion of earned
income cuts down the tax, so that,
in effect, wages and salaries are
not as highly taxed as other in
come.
However, the credit allowed on
this can't be more than 10 p r
cent of your net income. Maybe
practically all of your net income
came from personal services. If it
were all deducted, you would have
no tax. But only 10 per cent of
the net income is allowed. So dom t
try to deduct all your learned in
come; only an amount equal to
10 per cent of the net income, and
in no case more than $4,000 Chat
won't worry very many of us. If
you're running business, 20 per
cent of your net profits is allowed
to be considered as earned Income
and the credit is 10 per cent OF
that-in short, 2 per cent of net
profits.
The local real estate taxes you
pay on your home, for instance,
are deduction on your federal tax
return. But that deduction applies
only to the person who actually
holds legal title to the property.
