Personal Exemptions
Every Individual is allowed a
credit against his net income
which varies with his domestic
status, that is, whether he is (a)
a single person, (b) a married
person living with > husband or
wife, or (c) a head df family. This
credit is known as personal exempt
tion, and is shown on line 21 of
the return Form 1040. The amount
of the personal exemption also
varies depending *upon the period
during which the taxpayer occu-
pied the particular exemption sta-
tus.
The personal exemption for a
single person is $500 for the year;
for a married person living with
TJ^w-lh*isband Qr wife, $1200; and for a
B. G. McDutr. „head 0pfamiiy $1200.^tEgrsonal
exemption as head of a family haar
no effect on liability to file a re-
turn.) For Federal- income tax
purposes, ^widows, widowers, di-
vorcees, and married persons sep-
arated by mutual consent, as well
-aV persons who have never been
married, are -Classed as single per-
sons.'' •' v "* ^ '•
A head of family is defined as
"to individual who actually sup-
ports and maintains in one house-
hold one or" more individuals who
are closely connected with him bv
blood relationship, relationship by
marriage or by adoption, and
whose rights tp exercise family
control and provide for those de-
pendent individuals is based upon
some moral or legal obligation."
A single person, or a married per-
son not living with husband or
wife, may therefore, enjoy a head
of family exemption under certain
conditions.
Taxpayers using a Simplified re-
turn (which is permitted If the
gross income for the year is $3000
or lens arid derived solely from
earnings from employment and/or
from dhfeierids, interest and an-
nuities) obtain personal exemption
bas&r6n their status as of July 1
of the year. Thus, a taxpayer mar-
ried and living with husband or
wife on July 1 is entitled to $1200
personal exataaption on Form 1040
A; if he were a widower on July
1, his exemption would be $500,
irrespective of the date on whieh.
he became a widower. The amount
of the exemption is not deducti-
ble from the income but is re
fleeted in the amount of tax
shown in the table on the reverse
side of the form.
Taxpayers using return Forrr,
1040 obtain personal exemption
proportionate with the number oi
months during which the particu-
lar status is held. Thus, for a per-
son who married on July 1, (who
was not a head of family prior to
his marriage) the personal exemp-
tion would be $8#0 ($250 for the
six months as a single man, plu.1
$600 for the six months as a mar-
ried man). In this example it is
assumed that the wife has no in-
come.
Married persons may, however,
file joint returns, even though one
has no income, ana wy filing a
joint return a couple married dur-
ing the year may obtain an ex-
emption amounting to the exejnj*
tion to which they would be en-
titled for the period of married
status, plus the amount of their
individual exemptions prior to
their marriage, in the example gi-
ven the total exemption in a joint
return would be $1100 ($250 for
each spouse for six months plus
$600 for six months married sty-
tus).
If a husband and wife livmg
together both have income ana
file separate returns on Form
1040, the personal exemption ap-
plicable to a married person may
be-takfinhi the r'eturnvof either Oi
divided^betwreen-^hexiUn wa^
as they .may agree, but the total
personal exemption taken in thfi
two separate returns may not ex-*
ceed $1200v

INSURANCE
IS ALL THAT WAS LEFT
Insurance was the only thing left for the members of
the family that survived the fire! Theft home gone —
everything lost to them. J
Insurance could at least give'some compensation with
which to carry on. It's foolhardy to put of being pro-
tected with the right Insurance — because fires give no
