|YOUR FEDERAL INCOME TAX
 NO. 15 INCOME TO BE REPORTED
EARNED INCOME CREDIT

EARNED INCOME CREDIT
 Tn arriving at the amount of tax due on the taxable income of inc dividuals, a credit, known as 'earn~ ed income credit" is allowed against income in computing the normal tax" The amount of earned i1l- come credit is entered ot1N line 9 of the return Form 1040, and the computation of the earned income credit Is shown in Schedule E of the return form. The manner of computation is set forth in InstrIic~ ton 25 accompanying the form. The earned income credit is defined by law as 10 per cent of the earned net income, but not in excess of 10 per cent of the net income; but this definition is subject to certain quali- f1cations. There are three major qualifications.
 First, if the taxpayers net income (that is, the amount shown on line 19 of the return) is not greater than 5000, then the earned income credit is taken as 10 per cent of the net income; that is, the entire net income is considered as earned net income.
 Second, if the taxpayers net in~ come exceeds $3 900, then the earns ed income credit is taken as 10 per cent of the net income or the earned net income, whichever is the smaller, but in any case at least $500.
 Earned net income is defined as the learned income" less the learned income deductions" Earned il1- come" is earnings from employment. that is, earnings from wages, sale aries, professional fees, tips. bonuses and the like. The learned income deductions" are the ordinary and necessary expenses incurred in con. nection with such employment. (The amount of such expenses must be explained by an itemized state- ment.)
 Ordinarily, the earned net income Is the amount carried into the re- turn on line of Form 1040. If, however, the taxpayer is in busi~ ness for himself and is reporting most of his income on Schedule H. Profit Cor Loss) from Business or Profession-a maximum of 20 per cent of his share of the net profits of such trade or business may be considered as earned income in ar- irving at the amount of earned net income.
 Third, the maximum earned inc come credit which any taxpayer may take is $l,400. This maximum would occur when both the net income and the earned net income were $l4,000 or more. ...-
 For persons filing 8 Simplified Return, it is not necessary to colll- pute the earned income credit, as this has been consolidated into the computation of tax shown in the table on the back of the return form. It is necessary only to re- fer to, this table to arrive at the correct amount of tax due. Any individual whose total income for the year is not in excess of $S GOO and was wholly from salary. wages, or other coinuensation for personal service, dividends, interest, or an- nuities may use Simpliied Return (Forrn 1040A)..

 This reorganization, he said would start when terms of council members expire Feb. 24.
 The governor said that the new war council will probably take some of the personnel of the defense council" and will act as an over- all agency with powers approaching those of the defense council and the Connecticut war industries commis- sion.
 The war industries commission headed by Harvey l.. Hooke, West Hartford engineer, was organized by former Gov. Hurley to facilitate the How of war contracts to the states war production plants.
 This commission retains "contact" Of1ces in Washington.
 The governors announcement cleared up the purpose of his war council which Democrats charged was means of wiping out the de- fense council entirely.

 Six Democrats voted with the Re- publicans.
 The vote was 28 to 8.
 The solid Democratic opposition broke after Sen. Henry H. Hunt, R., Glastonbury, called for unanimous approval "as patriotic duty"
 In the house, where the bill roll- ed through earlier in the week, pas sage was along strict party lines.
 The senate defeated proposed amendments to the measure, which gives the governor authority to set up council of not more than 20 experts in various fields of endeavor to expedite the war effort. The amendments, similar to those voted down in the house, proposed:
 No interference with the present civilian defense council.
 Placing g housing expert on the war council
 That all employees of the council come under the state merit system.
 The bill now goes to the engroSs- ing clerk and then to. Governor Baldwin for, his signature. He is expected to begin naming members of the council next week. Elective state ofacials will be included in the membership.
