Civilian is to be treated if he has
been in the armed services at
any time in 1912 or l943.
In the first place, for service
men, there is to be no carry
over insofar as the earned in
come POI ZION of 1912 tax liabil-
ity is concerned, when 1912
taxes exceed 1943 taxes. The
earned income, you'll recall, is
wages or salary up to $4,000,
paid you TO personal services
rendered. Income from divi-
dends, rents and the like is not
earned income.
The effect o this provision
for service people is to cancel
the carry-over which civilians
have to pay, through the IS
per cent addition 10 the l943
tax must be computed and paid,
just as by civilians.
There is, however, an extra
$500 exclusion for everyone
in the armed services, in addi-
ton to the usual exemptions
granted to civilians $500 for
those who are single. $1,000 for
those who are married or head
of a family, plus $3.50 for each
dependent.
Since people in the armed
services don't have to report as
income any allowances they get
for food, shelter and subsistence,
the effect of all these excmp-
tions is that single men up
through the rank of frs lieu
I liant in the Army or lieuten-
ant junior grade in the Navy
and married men up through the
ranks Of major or lieutenant
commander won't ave to pay

with their civilian past.
NO WITHHOLDING TAX
Furthermore. there is no with
holding tax for anyone in the
armed services--no Victory tax
or payroll deduction which the
civilians are subjected to. And
since taxes on 1913 income for
scrvicemen below the ranks
mentioned above will in general
be Cancelled, there won't be any

Cancelled out to nothing.
That isn't the best of it, eth
er. There being provisions in
the new tax bill for the pay
ment Of refunds, some time after
March Is, 1914, the government
will actually pay back 10 many
people in the armed services,
income taxes they have already
paid to the government on
March Is and June Is, 1943, as
taxes on their 1912 incomes.
The maximum benefit which
service man could derive from
the 100 per cent cancellation
of his 1912 taxes, through the
working out o. the new law as
described. will be about $4,000,
which is the approximate tax for
a 1912 earned income of STA 900.
All this should be pretty well

men in service, and their de-
pendents.
