IRS to close
quickie divorce
tax loopholes
By EDMUND PINTO
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - Tax-
payers who slip in and out of
marriage with annual quickie
divorces that save taxes may
find the Internal Revenue Serv-
ice has something to say about
their marital status.
In a move to shut off what a
spokesman called a "sham
transaction.” (he IRS said
Thursday it no longer will rec-
ognize a divorce obtained mere-
ly to pay lower federal income
taxes.
The issue arose when tax-
payers discovered that under
some circumstances the tax bill
for a working married couple
was higher than if they had
stayed single and earned the
same amount of money.
The solution for some was to
obtain a divorce late in Decem-
ber and then remarry early in
January. The IRS said it does
not know how many couples
employed the tactic.
It worked because tax law
says an individual is considered
unmarried in a particular tax
year if he or she is divorced
anytime before the year ends,

"We’re going to have another
good old time Gospel singing at

this week.

Herbie, of DeSoto joined the
James D. Jones family in the
home of her parents-in-law, the
Alonzo Joneses for a short visit
from Thursday until Saturday of
last week.
Mr. and Mrs. Jones and family
left Coolidge July 6, by way of
DeSoto where they spent
Tuesday night in the home of
Mrs Herbert Jones and son,
Saturday. Mrs. Jas. P. Jones and
Mr. and Mrs. James D. Jones
were in Hillsboro to attend the
bedside of thier daughter and
sister, Mrs. Monroe Mandrell,
who had undergone surgery.
IRS put an end to the prac-
tice in an advisory ruling made
in response to a query from a
couple who were divorced on
Dec. 30, 1975, and remarried in
January 1976. The tax agency
did not identify the mates.
An IRS spokesman said the
agency will make no judgment
on whether the quickie di-
vorces, often obtained with a
winter vacation on some Carib-
bean islands and in Mexico, are

Bicentennial Message...
“We look for men who fear God and hold to Christian principles as
leaders in government. But, there are times we are proned to havp
little confidence in some of our lawmakers...this should not hap-
pen," Rev. Ed Spivev told his congregation Sunday morning while
speaking on the subject: “Freedom: For What?”
Plan for summer flowers
petunias, marigolds, coleus,
cclosia, dwarf dahlias and phlox,
impatiens, begonias and
periwinkles. Periwinkles do
especially well during July and
August, notes the Texas A&M
University System horticulturist.
"To get the best effect with
these flowers, try concentrating
them in a few strategic locations.
A group of colorful flowers can do
wonders for an otherwise dull,
uninteresting corner in the
landscape,’,' contends Janne.
COLLEGE STATION - If you
long for the sweet fragrance and
bright colors of summer flowers
but didn’t gel them planted this
spring, don't despair. Flowers
that are in bloom or about to
bloom are available from most
nurseries and garden centers,
says Everett Janne, hor-
ticulturist for Ihe Texas
Agricultural Extension Service.
Some flowers that bloom
throughout the summer include

How do I know how much III* Insurance I need to
carry?
The best way to find out is to discuss it with a qualified agent.
Knowing your particular state of affairs... your needs and plana, is
necessary to determine how much life insurance and exactly what
kind will work best for you. Thera are numerous methods for
determining how much Ufa insurance you should carry. One beak
formula was derived by the Institute of Insurance marketing. A
person should own from three to fhra times his annuel Income in Ufa
insurance The premiums should range from 8% to 18% of this
annuel income. Obviously, this is only a formula. Everyone's situation
is different and coverage should be tpadheatiy daaignad tor the
individual.
