BY JAMES MARROW

WASHINGTON R-For each ex-
emp. ION you can legally claim you
mock 500 on your income before
he rest is taxae.e.
There are various exemptions
nd rules covering them: Hus-
.ands, wives, dependents, blind
cope, people IS or over, and peo-
BE who we're born or died in 1851.
Husbands and Wives
Everyone with $500 or more in
come last year must file a return.
And everyone who does so gets a
800 exemption for himself.
A wife is not considered de-
pendent. Ii SIZE had no income,
md you file a return but she
1oesn't, you claim an exemption
ior her.
If she had any income, no mat
Ter how small, you get no exemp-
ton for her unless she files jointly
with you.
Where husband and wife each
had income but file separate re-
turns, each claims his own exemp-
ton.
Can a wife be claimed as a de-
pendent by someone like her ia
ther-it must be a close relative
who supported her? Yes.
But then her husband can't claim
any exemption for her because,
when she's claimed as the depend.
emf of another, she can neither file
jointly with her husband nor claim
any exemption for herself.
IF d wife does file jointly with
her husband, size can't be claimed
as a dependent by anyone else
even though the latter supported
her. In short. a wife can't be
claimed as an exemption on two
returns.
Couples divorced or legally sep
arated any time in l951-even as
ate as Dec. 3l--Inust file separate
'eturns for the year. Each then
Gets only has own exemption.
Even though a husband paid all
he support Of divorced or legally
separated wife he can't claim an
exemption for her.
Husbands and wives living apart
y Dec 81, 1851. but not divorced
u legally separated during that
year. may file a joint return.
A man and wife are considered
married for all of 1851 If they were
.aafiled as late as Dec. 81, 1851.
Dependents
Although no. one has to file a
return unless he had 5000 or more
income, qVirk in the old law
said you couldn't claim as a de.
pendent anyone who had $500 or
more income. That's been changed.
Nov you can claim as a de-
penient-no matter how young OF
old-snyone who mad less than
$500 income in 1851. Who received
more than half his support from
you. and who is closely related
by blood. marriage or adoption as
follows
Your child or grandehild: a step
Child but not his children: legal
y adopted child: a brother. Sis
ter. step-broiher. Siep-Sister; your
parents. grandparents. or other an
'''es'@rs: your step-father. step
mother; aunts, uneles. nieces,
nephews; your father-in-law. moth.
er-in-law.
AS an illustration Of what close
relation by blood means. you can't
claim cousin as a dependent.
Some government payments 10
veterans are tax-free. You can
claim rs dependent 4 veteran
who. although receiving tax -free
government money. had less than
$500 taxable income III his own
and fitted the other requirements
listed above for a dependent.
Yoa can claim as q dependent
for all Of 1851 anyone born as late
as Dec. 81. 1851. who truly fits
the rules covering dependents
even though the child died a mo.
meat after birth. You can't claim
