Now is the time to think about
the tax bill you are going to pay
next year because now is the time
you can do something about it. You
can take action now that will re-
duce the bill, or, if tax is withheld
from your paychecks, increase the
refund you will get.
Here is a check list of some of
these things. Watch for later col
ums in this newspaper. They will
cover these and other items more
fully.
Bad Debts: Be sure you can
prove they are bad this year and
claim the deduction.
Capital Losses: If you have stock
market losses, sell this year to
take the loss. Warning = do not
repurchase the same or similar
stock until at least 81 days after
the sale.
Contributions: Pay them to Sc
cure the deduction this year. A
pledge is no good. They must be
paid. You can take up to 309o in
some circumstance.
Dependents: Be sure You can
claim them If you are not provid-
ing over one-half the cost of sup
port, see if you can make an agree
ment with the others who are help
ing with the support.
Alimony: Separation payments
may be deducted by the husband
and included by the wife. You may
want to catch up on these pay
ments this year.

John Doe has a small shop in his

hold appliances. He has done this
for some time to augment the
wages from his regular job. When
he becomes unemployed, he con-
tinues his "self-employment" in the
basement of his home.
1t is this type of employment he
is asked to report on his weekly

income, for the cost of materials
may be involved, but certainly the
profit ACQUIRING from his work, in
cluding what he receives for his
labor.
The Bureaus position is this:
Prior to being laid off, John Does
appliance-repair work had been a
secondary occupation. Now that he
has been laid off, it may or may
not be a secondary occupation.
Perhaps he has expanded his busi-
ness and expects to follow the ap-
pliance-repair business full-time. If
SO, he cannot be regarded as ready
and available for work, nor will he
be seeking employment elsewhere
as required by law.

In
Ohio Is Subject
OF New Articles

Editors Note-This is the first
in series of articles written for
this newspaper by the Bureau of
Unemployment Compensation. Clip
each of these stories and read them
carefully. 1t is important that you
know what to expect should you be
forced to seek unemployment COM
pensation.)
No matter what the cynics say,
John Doe, average American
breadwinner, is an honest and CO.
operative individual. If you teach
him the rules, he'll play the game
and play it your way = right
down to the last out.
Of course, when the rules are a
little complex, as they are in unem-
ployment compensation, John Doe
may have little difficulty, especi-
ally if he has been employed for a
long time and this is his first ex-
perience in drawing unemployment
benefits.
The Bureau of Unemployment
Compensation realizes that, and
tries in every way to remove the
stumbling blocks which lie in wait
for the inexperienced claimant.
For example, it constantly seeks to
explain the Weekly Claim Form
which John Doe and every claim
ant are expected to fill out and
present each time they report to
sign for a benefit check.
Printed on the claim form are
six rather probing questions which
the unemployment people say they
have tried to make as simple and
understandable as possible. Each
question has a purpose, and that is
to make sure the worker is COM
plying with law which defines
with legal exactness the conditions
under which John Doe may obtain
unemployment benefits.
The first question, which may
throw the worker for complete
loss, is this: Did you tduring the
past week of unemployment work
for an employer or in self-employ-
ment ?"
The employer" part is easy to
understand; the IS f-employ-
ment" part is not. What do you
men by 'self-employment' ?" asks
bewildered John Doe, and the ans
wer is not easy to give There are
so many twists and angles to this
question of self-employment that
not even the smartest people in the
Bureau or the Bureaus judicial
minded Board of Review have
been able to give a definition
broad enough to fit all cases.
GIVE EXAMPLES
Generally, the Bureau seeks to
