Helpful Tips on Income Taxes Q—Last year’s medical ex penses don’t add up to 3 per cent of my income. Does that mean I can’t use the new pro vision that allows you to de duct one-half of your medical insurance premiums? A—You may deduct one-half of your medical insurance premiums up to the maximum of $150 even though your other medical expenses do not exceed the 3 percent income limitation.

You can’t deduct your medical insurance premiums if you take the standard deduction. Q—My brother and I provide over half of our mother’s sup port. Who gets to claim her? A—If each of you contribut ed over 10 percent of your mo ther’s support and the combin ed total adds up to over half of her total support then either of you may claim her as a de pendent. A special declaration must be completed by the one not claiming the exemption and sent in with the return of the one who claims the exemption. Q—I just filed my 1967 re turn.
