information concerning any sale of
your home at a profit, whether or
not the gain is taxable.
When you buy a home you gen.
orally agree with the previous
owner on a schedule of adjustments
Tor taxes, insurance, water rates
n similar Items. However, you
and the previous owner can deduct
this real estate tax In proportion to
the number of days of the property
tax year that each OF you held the
property-whether or not you have
agreed to apportion the tax. You
are considered to have paid your
share Of the tax when you bought
the home. This applies to any real
estate you may have purchased
during 1856.
Deductible Auto Expenses
From the time you buy an auto
mobile you begin to have other ex-
penses which are d~eductible on
your federal income tax return.
Any state or local sales tax you
paid on the car purchase is deduc-
tible. So Is the cost Of your license
plates. state inspection fees and
interest on an auto loan.
A common deduction in many
taxpayers returns is for state gas
oline tax. 1t is best to keep a rec
ord OF your gasoline purchases dur
ing the year, but II you don't have
such a record you can still make
a reasonable estimate.
II you had a collision, you may
be able to deduct for the damage
to your W car not covered BY in
surance. Although driving may
have been faulty. you are entitled
to the deduction If the accident was
not due to your negligence.
Such a loss. or loss from fire,
theft or other accidents is deter
mined In the manner described
above in connection with damage
to a house.
The instruction book which comes

information. Help is also available
by telephone or at Offices of the In

Real Estafe Taxes
Sometimes the monthly payment
also includes an additional amount
which the bank holds for the pay
ment of taxes. insurance, etc. In
this case the bank is acting as your
agent In paying tax on your prop
erty. Real estate taxes paid by the
bank for you are deductible as II
you had paid them directly.
II your home had been damaged
by IRE, storm or flood, your loss not
covered by insurance is deductible.
The amount OF the loss is calculated
by comparing the fair market value
Of the property just before and Just
after the casualty. This loss, or the
cost OF the property, whichever is
lower, Is reduced by any insurance
recovery to determine the loss for
tax purposes.
When large amounts are in
volved it may be wise to have an
expert appraisal made Immediately
after the casualty.
When You Sell q Home
You are not allowed to deduct
any loss you may suffer on the sale
OF your personal residence. How
ever, you may be required to pay
tax on a gain resulting from selling
the house at a profit.
II, however, you buy and occupy
another home within one year. be-
fore or after. the gainful sale Of
your former home, you are not
taxed on the gain at the time OF the
sale. Alternatively. you can start
construction OF a home within a

months after the sale OF your old
home. II the new home costs as
much as you received for your old

taxed on the gain. II your new home
costs less. the gain Is taxable to

This plan, which attracted nation

aptitudes, interests and aspirations.
