AUGUST 15, 1954 M~... T D I. r~ ncn i qa uicaiv rv Provided In Tax Bi Which Has Passed A new tax break may be in the offing for many ClintonLydia employees under the new revised tax bill which has just passed Congress. It's a special break for people who have to pay for care of their children while thev are at work and will in elude many of us here at Clinton-Lvdia. The new bill permits many taxpayers to deduct from their income, before figuring their federal income taxes, actual expenses up to $600 a year for care of children, and also for the care of any dependent who is mentally or physically incapable of careing for himself. A warning: if you claim this deduction, you must itemize and file your expenses, so you had better get a notebook or something and start itemizing them from last January 1 on through ine rest ot this year, the period covered when you file your federal taxes next year. Incidentally, that can be April 15 next year instead of March 15, another provision in the new tax law?but the income tax period as far as the federal tax is concerned runs from last January 1 through December 31 of this year. This is how you can qualify under the child-care provision: ii you me your return as a single head of a household, such as a widow, widower, divorced or separate person, you can claim a $600 deduction regardless of your income if you meet other conditions. And if you are a working wife, you can still qualify if your husband is incapacitated. You also can benefit if you file as a married couple, where both husband and wife work and file a joint return.

Jr., Chuck Leatherwood, Claude W Walt McAllister and Calvin Coope k 1 Liiipiuyccj ill Congress come is $4,500 or below, you can deduct the full $600. As we stated before, these expenses must be itemized. You can't benefit from this provision if you take the standard automatic deduction of 10 per cent of your income previously and still offered to most favnavprc ? w> Keep your records now if you think you can qualify in this new tax relief, and future tax articles early next year will tell you how to prepare your returns. You cannot deduct childcare expenses if they are paid to your own dependents. And, of course, you cannot deduct babv sitter expenses if you feel like going out for a frolic sometime. The theory is to permit a deduction for expenses you must incur to make your living?just as regular business expenses are deductible to a business concern. i i:_ r*:_i_ A h i Lygia oins MTrena Camp Buck Horn Blue Birds and Camp Fire Girls from the Lydia Mills community spent four days in July at Camp Buckhorn at Paris Mountain State Park.
