TOU SHOULD KNOW Bridegrooms are worrying as tc how they shall figure their Income Tax. A constant stream of inquiries from tilt newlyweds is reaching the Interna I-RcVenue officials. In tnan> of these cases both the bride and groom were employed up to the wed dnigAlate; the principal point on • which advice is asked Is as to whe i tlier the brides income must be shown • on the groom s return. The answer as given by the Inter nal-Revenue men is that all of the earning* and other income of both the bride and the groom for the year 1819 must be considered, even if i spent on trousseau, diamonds wedding trips, and 1 onbons. Tin fact that they were married on or he fore December 31 joins them for th< whole year, so fur as income Tax n concerned. A bride of 1919 is in duty bound u figure up her income and to add ii to hubby's 1919 earnings to determine whether an Income Tax return is re quired. If the total was $2,000 or more, a return must be made; ir which case both bride ami groom ma> tile geperate returns, or must tile a joint return. The latter method L preferred by the collectors, unless the aggregate net income of both inis band nnd wife is $5,000 or over. And they all want to know whether although married only part of the year 1919. they are entitled to clain full exemption as a married couple The _ans\Ver is a decided yes; the) are allowed $2,000. plus S2OO for each dependent who is under IS or who through age. defect, etc., is ineapabk of self-support. This exemption ina> lie split in any proportions on tilt separate returns of husband and wife if they file that way. “And remember that March 15 it the final date for tiling returns ant paying Income Taxes." is the warn itig that the Revenue men add to the above advice. !

TAX IS PROBLEM FOR TOE FARMERS They Will Have To Do Much Juggling In Order To Deter mine Their Returns Officials * Wonder If Regulations Are Understood CORRECT METHOD NOW IS EXPLAINED — I With thousands of income tax re 'urn forms in the hands of farmers many of whom in some parts of the countrv have been computing their ax assessments b\ a system that causes the big agricu.;ural_State? a make much smaller comparative re turns than the industrial Stafes. the officials of the Bureau of fikterha! Revenue of Maryland are wondering f the farmers thoroughly understanu he method by which they must make heir computations - Whether the farmers figure incor rectly or doge taxes, the Internal Revenue officials have never been able o understand Tmi Ways To Figure Returns Form No. 1040-F is designed for farmers, stock raisers and truckers o be tiled, if necessary, with tht vtiier forms, 1040-A for the income linfer $5,000 and 1040 for incomes ivor $5,000. Whether the farmer js m owner or a tenant he lias his ob ligation to meet. There tire two ways n which lie may figure his income for he year, either of which will be ae •eptable for income tax The first *s the “cash basis.” This means, as tht term implies, the difference between .he “intake" in money and goods re vived for his products, and the cash >aid out for actual farm expenses vithin the year. It also means that if he did not sell tis grain hr>gs, cattle. • beep or other trodiicts before January 1. 1920, then he value of the crop or animals rala ;;1 is not icome for 1919. but will be ncome for the year in which sold Jimilariy, if he sold durng 1919 anyt hing raised or grown In a prior year t is income for 1919. The second, or accrued method, is ;v computing the receipts and ex >enye incurred, whether paid or not, hat actually pertain to Ihe taxable •ear, excluding income earned and ?xpen?es incurred in previous or. suc :eeding years firms Income Outlined . The computation of the gross in tomo may cause the farmer a little ‘tail figuring.'’ All gains, profits and ncome derived from the sale or ex •hange of grain products, whether trod need on the farm or purchased tnd resold, is incltideil in "gross in tome." When he exchanges his prod icts for groceries, clothing, or other irtides he must include in his gross ncome the value of the'articles re teived in exchange'. A farmer who ets out a farm on a crop-share basis uust report the cash received when he crops are sold. A farmer who ets our a farm orr a cash-rental basis ind is paid in crops must report the txac; cash rental agreed upon whe her nr not the crops are disposed >f The entire amount received for uiimals raised on the farms should te included in gross income. From his gross income a farmer is illowed to charge off all of his nec essary expenses in the conduct of the 'arm during the year. These include •osts of putting in his crop, of car ng for liis crop, and of harvesting md marketing. In addition to these '.osts he may deduct money spent for irdinary farm tools of short life tough: during t!p year, such as shov ?ls. rakes*etc. Also, the cost of feed mrchasoct lor his livestock may be reared as an expense, so far as this 'ost represents actual outlay; but the .•alee of his own products fed to ani-4 nals is not a deductable item. Improvements As Investment If during the year the farmer pur chased trees for the planting of an qr 'hard, or if he built or improved the arm drainage, pulled stumps on the arm. dug a well, erected a barn or a tew fence, or expended money for my other purposes that improved his !arm, such expenditures are not chargeable against the income for the vear. There is a reason for this which the farmer will readily un ferstand. and that is that a person who makes such improvements is not spending his money, but investing it !n improvements. Every farmer will want to know how he will treat a loss caused by a storm in which his crop or part of it is ruined. Unless the crop reaches its maturity and is harvested and mid. ts value nefer reached gross in come, and. therefore, an arbitrary de duction for the loss cannot be allow ed. The cost of planting. fertilizing and cultivating that crop is allowed in regular order, but the loss of a growing crop simply means that the farmer has so muck le9B gross in come to report and. therefore, will pay a reduced tax. if any fax at all. Loss Of Stock* Or Buildings The same is true in the case of the loss of animals which were raised oh ‘he farm However, a loss is allowed la th# case of draft animals or ani mals for breeding purposes, , which represented a capital outlay, such as horses.' cows and other animals btmght.' The amount that would be I allowed in *u< h ase is the cost less any ti*duciios claimed on prior re turns for depreciation Any insurance . received must also be considered in figuring a loss in such a case. A farmer who sustained a loss to his buildings through tire, iiahtfling. or storm may < laiiji a loss figured out I by income-tax regulations. Shrinkage in weight or value of tarm products held for favorable mar j ket prices may not be deducted as a loss, for the reason that when such • products are sold the shrinkage will . be reflected in the selling price Where the entire farm or the en r i tire land is -oifi the gain.is represent ed the difference between the cost ant sale price, but if the farm or lam was owned prior to March 1. 1913. the fair market value as of that date should, be taken instead of cost, ami ! f acquired by bequest or descent since March 1 . 1913. the estates approved inventory value should he used in stead of cost. ■— SUFFRAGE £IVEN DEATH BLOW BY THE HOUSE TODAY (Continued From Page One) Division of the Service Star Legion formerly the War Mothers; the Chile Welfare Circle, of Baltimore, and th.
