has pointed out: 1.-THE law expects
you to pay your correct tax-no
moreno less"
Married Couples
Most married couples save tax
dollars by filing a joint return in
stead Of separate returns. This Is
because the tax Is figured on a joint
return as II the husband and wife
each had one-half the total income
(even though the wife may actually
have had no income). Income-split-
ting, az 1t Is called, may bring the
couple down into a lower tax
bracket.
Watch for the exceptions, how
ever II you had capital losses or
unusually high medical expenses,
you will be wise to figure both joint
ly and separately to see which
results in less tax.
II you are supporting a dependent
and maintain a home for that per-
son although you are single. wild
owed. divorced or legally separated.
you may be able to qualify as a
head OF household" and figure
your tax on a special table which
gives you part OF the advantage
enjoyed by married couples filing
joint returns.
Surviving Spouse
Also. II your husband or wife died
in 1854 or 1855, and you have as
a member of your household a de-
pendent child or stepchild. you are
entitled as a surviving spouse" to
the same ircome-splitting benefits
this year as you would have on a
joint return-unless you remarked
before the end of 1856. The privi-
lege to file as a surviving spouse
applies to the first two years follow
ing the year in which your husband
or wife died.
The instruction book which comes
with your tax forms gives further
information. Help Is also available
by telephone or at Offices Of the
Internal Revenue Service. The Rev.
enue Service urges you to consult
a properly qualified advisor II you
decide to seek outside help.

and Home Owners.
The Sidney herald., 1957-01-17

The easiest form to file is the
1040-A, and according to Treasury
records, one out Of four taxpayers
use it. To be eligible to file a 1040-A
form your total income must be
less than $4,000, consisting entirely
OF wages subject to withholding Tor
OF wages, dividends, and interest.
providing not more than 500 of
such income came from a source
outside that listed on your VIZ
slips). The simplified form makes
no provision for Head of House
hold" status or itemized deductions.
II you use this form the govern
ment will figure your tax and send
you either a refund or a bill, II you
80 desire. However. for the first
time this year, you can compute
your own tax on form 1040-A and
either send in the balance due with
the return or show thereon the
amount Of refund you have coming.
Whether to Itemizc
Should you decide to use the
regular form 1910 you still have
the choice OF itemizing deductions
or using q standard deduction which
amounts to about 10 percent OF your
income. II your income was less
than $4,000 and you use the STAN
dard deduction, you determine your
tax from the special table given
in the instruction book.
You are likely to saw by itemiz-
ing IL you:
% Own real estate
(2) Had unusual medical ex.
penses
(3) Had deductible child-care ex-
pense
(4) Suffered losses from fire,
storm, accident or theft
(5) Made fairly large contribu-
tions
1t Is important to remember that
If you incur such expenses as trans.
portation. meals or lodging in con
nection with your work, check care
fully the instruction book to find
how these expenses may be de-
Quoted even though you decide to
use the standard deduction.
II your deductions are close to
10 percent. 1t Is wise to itemize
them and figure your tax both ways
to see which results in the smaller
tax. AS the Treasury Department
