YOUR FEDERAL INCOME TAX Q. I am married and earned $5,500 during 1961. My hus band is totally disabled and it was necessary for me to pay a maid $700 for attending to our 4 year old child during the year. How much can I deduct as child care expense? A. You may deduct $600, the maximum amount allowable, as child care expense. Ordinarily, married couples are not entitled to this deduction if their combinjed adjusted gross income is $5,100 or more. However, since your husband is incapable of self-suffort, the $5,100 rule does not apply. You should attach a statement to your return indicating: (1) the nature of your husband’s disability, (2) the period of his disability, and (3) the amount of his earnings, if any, during the period. Q. I drove several of my fellow employees to and from work dur ing 1961. Each of them paid me a small amount each week for this service. Should I report the amounts paid me as income on my 1961 return and, if so, can I deduct the cost of repairs, gas, and similar items incurred in maintaining my automobile? A. You should include in in come amounts received from pas sengers only to the extent that such amounts exceed the automo bile expense. The automobilfe ex pense incurred in driving to and from work is a personal expense and is not otherwise deductible. Q. During 1961, the entire support of my mother was fur nished by my brother, my two sisters, and me. We determined that of theWotal support, I fur nished 45 per cent, my brother furnished 35 per cent, and each of my sisters furnished 10 per cent. Can any of us claim her as a dependent? A. Under the multiple support provisions, either you or your brother may claim an exemption for your mother for 1961, provided the other files a written statement that he will not claim an exemption for her for 1961. The statement should be filed on Form 2120, which may be obtained from any Internal Revenue office, and should be filed with the return of the one who claims the exemption. Since neither of your sisters fur nished more than 10 per cent of the support, neither qualifies for the exemption. Consequently, your sisters need not file the statement.
