20,000 PEOPLE
FIHEt) WHEN THEY
FAILED TO FILE
Non-Compliance With Provisions
of Income Tax Law
Proves Costly
Twenty thousand persons last ye*r
paid a nne ol each for failure to
file aa Income-tax return for 1918, nl*
though their income for that year was
riot taxable.
Tl\e revenue act provides an exemp
tioti of $1,000 for single person*.
$2,000 for married persons and heads
of families, and an additional exemp­
tion of $200 for each peraon dependent
upon the: taxpayer, if such person Is
under 18 years of age, or incapable of
self-suport. The delinquents last year
were persons whose income exactly
equaled the amount of the exemptions
and who considered it unnecessary,
therefore, to file a return, and others
whose incomes were non-taxable be­
cause of dependents, and who were
under a similar .mistaken impression
For example, a single man with a
net income of.$1,00 was supporting a
sister for whom he was allowed an ex­
emption of $200, placing his income in
the non-taxahle list. For this reason
he did not file a return,. When bis
delinquency was discovered through a
return filed by his employer, who is
required to report payments of $1,000
or more to each employe he was lined
$5.
To avoid penalty every person whose
income for the last year equalled or
exceeded $1,000 or $2,000, according to
their marital status or their status as
the head of a family, must file a re­
turn. The law provides no exceptions,
the penalty for failure being a fine of
not more than $1,000.
Whether or not a person Is the
''head of a family" and entitled to a
$2,000 exemption is a question to be
determined largely by circumstances
surrounding each individual case. Th
fixing of his status decides in many
Instances, whether his income is tax­
able or non-taxable.
A head of a family is defined by
treasury regulation as "a person who
actually supports and lAamtalns one
or more individuals who are closely
connected with him by blood relation­
ship, relationship by marriage, or
by adoption, and whose right to ex­
ercise. family control and provide
these dependents is based upon some
moral or legal obligation." A single
person is the head of a family il\ he
is the sole support of relatives living
in the same house with liirn and
he exercises control of household af­
fairs. The words "sole, support" are
used in the sense that there Is no
other person to whom, the dependents
may look, for support., Income.from
other sources, such as interest on
bonds, .stock, dividends, pensions, etc.
if meagre enough still to•' leave the
recipient dependent, does not .preclude
acclaim for exemption. Suchi Income,
however, must be included in the re­
turn, of the head of the family.
The $1,000 additional exemption il
lowAd' the head of a family cannot be
divided' between two single members
of a household, A division of respon­
sibility excludes the parties from such
claim: A single person who. does not
OIK*li/y as the head of a family may
still claim an exemption. of $200 for
«ach person dependent upon bijn for
support, if such "person is under 18
years of pge or incapable

-Besides the usual weather forecasts,
there aire weather records in different
