He writes that on Line IS. That's
his full tax for 1948.
But during the year his boss
withheld from him-say-$1,4 400
in tax. That was too much, since
Jones sees now his tax should be
only $1,248.68.
So he has a refund of $151.32
coming to him. He wants the COL
lector to send him the refund. So
he checks that on page one of
the long-form, under line No. 10.
And he fills in the other questions
on page one.
Then he and his wife both sign
the long-form to show it's a joint
return. If Jones alone signs it,
the collector will consider it a
single return. That would be
more expensive for Jones.
One more thing Jones does. He

Your Income Tax
(SeUenth of a SerieSJ
By jones MorIow
Assoeiofed Press Stoff Writer

Here's an example of filling out
your 1948 income tax return on
the 1040 long-form.
Jones income was $4,000, all in
salary. His wife had none. They
have two schoolboy sons. He's 60
ing to make a joint return with
his wife. Why?
Because, when a wife has no
income, a joint return is cheaper
than return filed by a husband
alone.
So his two problems are deduc-
tions and exemptions. He tackles
the deductions first.
Standard Deduction 1917.
A couple filing jointly-without
explaining or itemizing a penny
can get a standard deduction OF
10 per cent of their income up to
a limit of $1,000 in such a stand
ard deduction.
Therefore, Jones' standard de-
duction-10 per cent of his $4,000
income-is $3.50. Before taking
that, he figures out his deductible
expenses to see if they come to
more than $3.50.
If they do, he'll have to itemize
them, but he can claim them all
and save money. He figures: 5000
for charity; $500 for interest and
taxes on his house; $110 for medi-
cal expenses. Total. $610. So he'll
be ahead by taking the standard
deduction of $3.50.
He turns to Page 3 of the long
form, bottom half, enters his in
come, $4,000 on Line /, his stand
ard deduction, $3.50, on Line 2,
subtracts, and puts the result,
Evening star., 1949-02-28

$500, on Line 8. That's called
his net income.
Exemptions Listed.
Then come exemptions. His
total 81, 800. That's $500 for him
self, $500 for his wife; and $500
for one son but not the other.
Why?
You can't claim as a dependent
anyone who had $500 or more
income. Jones sons worked after
school. One had $500 income,
the other $499.
On Line 4 he writes his $1,000
in exemptions. Subtracting that
from his $500 income, he enters
the result, $1,000, on Line 5.
Because this is a joint return,
Jones skips to Line 9 and-divid-
ing in half the $1,000 on Line g.
writes the result: $3.50.
Now he has to find the "tenta-
tive" tax on $3.50. He does that
by using the instruction sheet.
He writes that tentative tax,
which comes to $732.20, on Line
10.
The next step is to cut that
tentative tax" to the actual tax.
He follows the rules in Line II
(b) and writes the result. $107.86
there. Subtracting that from the
$73220 on Line 10, the result is
$624.34, which he puts on Line
IL.
Multiples by Two.
That's his half of the tax, as it
were. But this is Joint return
by him and his wife. So he multi
plies $624.34 by two, gets $1,248.68.

 The Cougars have won those Y games, including four straight in conference play, with an average of cnly 52.5 points per game. Defense, something that the old folks will remember is the answer. The op- ponents have averaged 43.1 in each contest.
 Defense isn't the only answer, though.
 The formula for the winning club involves an ace defensive for ward, a platoon substitution sys- tenn and three quarterbacks.

 A number of states that have ct income tax either exempt in trance companies entirely or al- ow them credit on the tax for }aymsnts made on the tax on 2remiums, Senator Butrovich said.
 Anderson Opposed
 Senator Anderson of Nome said that he would be unable to sup port an exemption for one class of business and Senator Rivers stated that an additional burden on any business is a hazard but that tax burdens should be borne equally by all types of business enterprise.
 During the afternoon the Senate continued its session as Commit tee of the Whole and heard Keith Wildes, R. E. Robertson, Attorney General Ralph Rivers and Insur- snce Commissioner Frank Boyle on his particular aspect of the bill,
 The Attorney General pointed out that the two per cent gross tax n premiums is an excise tax and corresponds to the excise tax on liquor and excise taxes on other types of business which will not be exempt from the income tax.
 Deterring Effect
 Attorney Robertson told the Sen stcrs that imposition of the in ccme tax on insurance companies may have deterring effect upon the entry, of these companies, par ticularly fire insurance companies, into the Alaska field.
